Weather Underground Connector

Intro

Weather Underground provides national, local and crowd-sourced weather reports. Use Domo's Weather Underground connector to pull detailed weather reports. To learn more about the Weather Underground API, visit their page (https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/).

You connect to your Weather Underground account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Weather Underground connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Connecting to Your Weather Underground Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Weather Underground Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
