Real-Time Weather, Straight to Air
One dashboard for the whole weather desk: real-time data as JSON or XML, live map visualisation, unlimited on-air languages, and professional-quality video over SDI, NDI and HDMI.
Choose the data, and let your systems run the rest
Pick exactly which weather parameters, cities and time ranges your broadcast software receives, save them as a named preset, and pull that preset with a single parameter. One structured endpoint, delivered as JSON or XML, is enough for your playout, graphics and scheduling systems to assemble the entire weather block on their own.
23 data fields, one API, two formats.
Temperature, humidity, wind speed, UV index, air quality, weather alerts and 17 more parameters — from a single endpoint built for broadcast production, returned as clean JSON or XML to match whatever your automation already speaks.
Unlimited languages.
Map condition codes to your own phrases and character sets, in as many languages as you broadcast in. Replace standard labels with region-specific terms — including non-Latin scripts — without any code changes on your end.
Real-time visualisation, ready for air
Animated radar, live wind streams, satellite imagery and heatmaps that move as the weather moves. Scrub the forecast hour by hour, hit play, and customise city markers, basemaps, border colours and label designs directly in the dashboard.
The rendering client runs on Windows and Linux and feeds your switcher professional-quality video over SDI, NDI or HDMI — a real signal, not a screen capture.
Make it look like your channel
Skycaster ships with multiple icon packs so the graphics match your on-air identity. Switch packs without changing a line of integration code.
You are in control
Create, revoke, and monitor your API keys directly from the dashboard. Check request counts, rate-limit status, and last-used timestamps at a glance — no support ticket required.
