Title: [SOlved] I need a Ip x to weather y at time z query! 10 BTC bounty
Post by: ptshamrock on May 10, 2012, 03:46:25 PM
Hi,

I have about 4 days of chat data (roughly 70 chats a day), along with the chatter's IP addresses.

I need a script or program to tell me what the weather was like at the location of the IP, at the time of the chat.

The script must look-up the location of the IP using a Geo location database, then take that location and look-up the weather at the time of chat.

I do not want the script to make a lot of queries as it may get blocked from submitting further queries, but 50 queries at a time should be OK.

The data is available in:
HTML
XML
XLS
CSV

I've never worked with Geo IP before; but do you have a specific site in mind? Even a database you can access?

I may be up for it if you know more about the actual way of acquiring the data; I don't feel like regexing and stuff.

So, I made a program only to discover that you needed to pay money in order to use their historical api key. I started looking at other sites; so far, I haven't found a site that provides historical weather data for free. Unfortunately, because of this, I'll abandon this project.
If you ever find a site that provides historical weather data and has an API with json or XML, feel free to contact me again.


Good luck.
