I remember not too many years ago (2011/12?) Yahoo was the best source of free APIs for weather/stock/news information.
It was well documented, fully-featured, had a great web dashboard, and most importantly of all it was super stable.
Not sure if it shut down or if it just became irrelevant in the modern web. But many a engineering student plugged into it to make "hello world" weather apps.
- geerlingguy 7y agoThey were shut down. I remember building many a widget that would pull information from Yahoo's simple and thorough APIs, and they were all sunset sometime between 2010 and 2015. Their stock API was unique in that it was one of the few with good data on almost any ticker. Most stock tracking APIs require licenses to use, or have terrible latency. Similar with weather APIs now.
