WeatherKit REST API new columns for CurrentWeather
My pipeline broke today as new fields were added for the current weather dataset: cloudCoverLowAltPct cloudCoverMidAltPct cloudCoverHighAltPct I presumed new fields would only be released in a new version of the API? Is there any way to use a specific version of the API that will not be subject to change? The current weather REST API docs are here, which don't include these fields: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/weatherkitrestapi/currentweather/currentweatherdata

WeatherKit REST API documentation outdated - dailyStart is now mandatory
The REST API documentation for obtaining weather data is now out of date. The current documentation states the following for dailyStart The time to start the daily forecast. If this parameter is absent, daily forecasts start on the current day. However, I now receive 404 errors if the dailyStart field is not present. An example 404 error below: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en/51.4902665589415/-0.173959748540426?dataSets=forecastHourly&timezone=UTC&country=GB&dailyEnd=2023-02-26T17%3A18%3A08Z However, the following URL succeeds when dailyStart is present: 'https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en/51.4902665589415/-0.173959748540426?dataSets=forecastHourly&timezone=UTC&country=GB&dailyEnd=2023-02-26T17%3A18%3A08Z&dailyStart=2023-02-19T17%3A24%3A28Z'

WeatherKit REST historical weather alerts
Is it possible to retrieve historical weather alerts via the REST API? For example, the following URLs return the same results despite different values for hourlyStart and currentAsOf: https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en/43.58723/13.52492?dataSets=weatherAlerts&timezone=UTC&country=IT https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en/43.58723/13.52492?dataSets=weatherAlerts&timezone=UTC&country=IT&currentAsOf=2022-01-20T00%3A00%3A00Z&hourlyStart=2022-01-20T00%3A00%3A00Z https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en/43.58723/13.52492?dataSets=weatherAlerts&timezone=UTC&country=IT&currentAsOf=2022-01-20T00%3A00%3A00Z https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en/43.58723/13.52492?dataSets=weatherAlerts&timezone=UTC&country=IT&hourlyStart=2022-01-20T00%3A00%3A00Z Results: {'weatherAlerts': {'name': 'WeatherAlertCollection', 'metadata': {'attributionURL': 'https://weatherkit.apple.com/legal-attribution.html', 'expireTime': '2023-01-26T23:54:24Z', 'language': 'en-US', 'latitude': 43.587, 'longitude': 13.525, 'providerName': 'Italian Air Force National Meteorological Service', 'readTime': '2023-01-26T23:49:24Z', 'reportedTime': '2023-01-26T23:49:24Z', 'version': 1}, 'detailsUrl': 'https://weatherkit.apple.com/alertDetails/index.html?ids=9d853cc3-0db2-5561-99ba-e6fbd2ac4b28&lang=en-US&timezone=UTC', 'alerts': [{'name': 'WeatherAlertSummary', 'id': '9d853cc3-0db2-5561-99ba-e6fbd2ac4b28', 'areaId': 'IT011', 'areaName': 'Marche', 'attributionURL': 'https://meteoalarm.org', 'countryCode': 'IT', 'description': 'Moderate Snow or Ice Warning', 'effectiveTime': '2023-01-26T23:00:00Z', 'expireTime': '2023-01-27T22:59:00Z', 'issuedTime': '2023-01-25T09:54:34Z', 'eventOnsetTime': '2023-01-26T23:00:00Z', 'detailsUrl': 'https://weatherkit.apple.com/alertDetails/index.html?ids=9d853cc3-0db2-5561-99ba-e6fbd2ac4b28&lang=en-US&timezone=UTC', 'phenomenon': 'Ice', 'precedence': 0, 'severity': 'moderate', 'source': 'Italian Air Force National Meteorological Service', 'eventSource': 'EUMETNET', 'urgency': 'future', 'certainty': 'likely', 'importance': 'normal', 'responses': ['monitor']}]}}
