Solcast StrawberryGet weather forecast in Solcast, without opening it
Hand a companion the outcome. It reads the Solcast live weathers, does the 3-operation version of the job, and stops for your click on anything that changes a record.
Open the live weather. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Solcast afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what Solcast exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, 3 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can get a weather forecast, get monthly averages and get a live weather, and work across the live weathers, monthly averages and weather forecasts.
The Solcast API stops at Solcast. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Where do the live weathers come from?
All 3 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can get a weather forecast, get monthly averages and get a live weather, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Solcast's documentation.
The live weathers are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the monthly averages. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Solcast admin becomes a queue you review.
- Get Weather Forecast
- Get Monthly Averages
- Get Live Weather
Nothing writes back. So what moves the live weathers?
Through the screens you already use.
Solcast exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives Solcast in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a live weather, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a live weather in Solcast touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
What does the recurring live weathers pass look like?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Solcast live weathers pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the busywork, the Solcast live weathers sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
