🌦️ DWD Germany Weather Stations Scraper

🚀 Export Germany's DWD weather station observations in seconds. Temperature, humidity, wind, pressure, and observation time from every public POI station.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-29 · 📊 11 fields per record · 1,000+ German stations · Live POI feed

The DWD Germany Weather Stations Scraper reads the opendata.dwd.de public POI weather report directory and returns one row per station with the latest temperature, humidity, wind speed, pressure, and timestamp.

Coverage spans every German station Deutscher Wetterdienst publishes via the open data POI bulletin, with no API key required.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
🌦️ Meteorologists	Mirror DWD POI feeds into a private warehouse
🚜 Agritech	Pull station observations for nearby fields
✈️ Aviation analysts	Cross-check German weather conditions
🤖 Data engineers	Build time series datasets
🎓 Researchers	Use authoritative DWD observations in studies
🏗️ Construction & logistics	Plan against current conditions

📋 What the DWD Germany Weather Stations Scraper does

Reads the DWD POI directory listing.
Optionally filters stations by name substring.
Downloads each station's latest BEOB report and extracts the most recent observation.
Normalizes German decimals (comma to dot) and casts numeric fields.
Pushes a clean diagnostic record when DWD is unreachable.

💡 Why it matters: DWD's open data is free but distributed as one CSV per station inside an Apache directory listing. This actor crawls the directory and parses the latest values into a tidy table.

Field	Type	Required	Description
`stationFilter`	string	No	Substring filter on station ID, case-insensitive.
`maxItems`	integer	No	Free 10, paid up to 1,000,000.

Example 1 - Berlin stations only:

{"stationFilter":"BERLIN","maxItems":20}

Example 2 - All stations, top 10:

{"maxItems":10}

⚠️ Good to Know: DWD POI files are overwritten roughly hourly. Run on a schedule to build a time series.
