Worth noticing
Responses preserve each agency’s own index, datum, units, wording, and attribution rather than normalizing them.

Field notes

The page links each service to named upstream sources and says answers include source attribution, with the source’s terms applying to downstream use. Its operating notes are unusually explicit: responses are cached and unsupported, higher-volume users should make contact, and agency publications remain the record for accuracy. Several services describe a fallback when direct station data is absent, including CAMS for air quality and TICON-4 for tide predictions.
