Seems like that is indeed the case. But that does not explain the need for logging. However, in these days weather APIs are the ones you can actually query without API keys. See, for example. https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api There is a forecast for you: `curl -X GET "https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/TOP/31,80/forecast https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/TOP/31,80/forecast" \ -H "Accept: application/geo+json" ` All the third-party APIs for weather just try to artificially monetize them, because under the hood the information is typically governmental funded. See, for example, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40589172 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40589172
