🌦 Weather Crawler (TimeAndDate)

Overview

Weather Crawler takes a location (city name) and provides extended 14 days weather forecast data from timeanddate.com for given locations. It extracts daily weather details such as temperature, conditions, wind, humidity, precipitation, UV index, and also enriches the data with latitude and longitude using the Open-Meteo Geocoding API.

Where you can use it?

• Weather dashboards
• Climate research datasets
• Travel & tourism apps
• Location-aware forecasting systems

Input Methods

The actor supports multiple ways to provide weather URLs. For example:

Single URL

Users can manually add one or more TimeAndDate extended forecast URLs in the Start URLs field.

Example:

https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/usa/austin/ext

This method is suitable for scraping a small number of locations.

Text File Upload (Bulk URLs)

For scraping multiple cities at once, users can upload a text file containing weather URLs.

• Each URL must be on a new line
• Only TimeAndDate /ext weather URLs are supported

Example text file (urls.txt):

https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/germany/frankfurt/ext
https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/uk/london/ext
https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/usa/new-york/ext

This method is ideal for:

• Bulk data collection
• Weather analysis across multiple cities
• Automation workflows
