It is not true that WU doesn't let you download your own data. The confusion is that you can't download data the old way with a .csv download file. The new way to download your own data is to use an API key that you can generate under your account setting. Then you must use this new API method to download your data. There is even a WeeWX extension to use this new method that has been created. The reason for this change is that before anyone could download any amount of data and there were no controls to limit bandwidth usage. With the new API key method you are limited in the amount of bandwidth you can use on a monthly basis. This limits bandwidth abuse and it allows WU to better run their servers and reduce costs. If you are a business and you were previously downloading tons of data from WU, then those efforts have been blocked. You'll now have to purchase a commercial license in order to continue to download the amounts of data that you were before. You could say that a few bad apples with their abuse ruined the simplicity of the previous .csv download method. There were a few years where WU servers were hardly ever up. Sure things are not still perfect with WU but they certainly are a lot better than they were before these controls were implemented.

Oh Ok. So I think I maybe misunderstood some posts I found online. So I dont pay anything aslong as I dont download the data to frequently? In some postings they say, that you have to pay after one year anyway. I saw the API thing before, but here you can only download the real time data, I guess. For me it would be enough to download all data once a month or so. Is this possible? Whatever - I would prefer to have a self-managed datalogger for many reasons. The most important reason is, that I would also see the inside temperature which is not possible because of " privacy policies". Also there is one more temp-sensor, which also dont show up. And to have "everything in my hands". So can anyone help me? BR, Steinwolf galfert schrieb am Sonntag, 17.

The tool to import from WU is built into WeeWX. It is called wee_import. There may be an update for it though that is not part of WeeWXnot sure. I've actually never used it. I don't know what the data limit is nor how much you need to import. I suppose you could do it in chunks if necessary. You'll never have to pay even after a year. The API key that you get as a contributor is just limited per day to 500 queries and 10 times per minute. Don't ask me to explain that. That is what I read and I don't have more details. I'm sure that you'll learn more as you learn to work with the wee_import. You should be able to grab all of your history. It may take a while but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.
