Can I get radar data from this. I saw that I can get a list of radar stations and meta data from them but I would like the radar data (really imaged would probably be better). Thank you for the post.

https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/standard/ https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/standard/ -- I think this is every NWS radar station with a 30 minute animated gif loop, along with the individual frames that make up that loop. I know it used to be possible to get these same images -- but with the actual radar imagery separated from the base map, didn't have time to find those, but I'd guess they're still around somewhere. Edit: a bunch of different radar-imagery only layers from each station over a longer time period: https://mrms.ncep.noaa.gov/RIDGEII/L3/ https://mrms.ncep.noaa.gov/RIDGEII/L3/

  MRMS is generally much better than RIDGE

  There's an Android app which seems to surface this exact same data: https://github.com/dh4/WeatherRadar https://github.com/dh4/WeatherRadar

I'd be surprised if you couldn't, but if that's the case, look for APIs directly from Mesonet or NowCOAST.
