NWS Daily Climate Report Scraper: Official High, Low, Rain
Pricing
Pay per event
Daily high, low, precipitation, snow, records and normals parsed from the official NWS Daily Climate Report (CLI) text for MIA, NYC, ORD and 18 more locations. Latest, date-range with NCEI history, or live running max/min from METARs.
parse_input (for example "abc" for a whole number, an unknown mode, a bad or placeholder contactEmail, a bad location code) used to fail the run through Actor.fail (exit 1, FAILED). It now ends like the 1104f wrong-type path: exit 0, one free status row (statusRow: true, status: error, charged: false), no RUN_SUMMARY, nothing fetched or charged, and the row's message is also the terminal status message: Invalid input, nothing was fetched or charged: <reason>. Each <reason> is the same text as before.tests/test_invalid_input.py gains an end-to-end test that runs the Actor offline on former exit-1 inputs and checks exit 0, one free row, the message and no RUN_SUMMARY.null or list) crashed the run with exit 91. It now ends with exit 0 and one free status row (statusRow: true, charged: false, no RUN_SUMMARY): Invalid input, nothing was fetched or charged: the input must be a JSON object, got <type>.maxItems: Infinity) crashed with OverflowError and exit 91 before anything was fetched. It now ends the same way, reason a number field has the wrong type (Expected a whole number, got inf.)."abc" for a number, etc.) still fails the run through Actor.fail (exit 1) with the same message. The deliberate free sample rows (no contactEmail) and the free unparsed-report rows are unchanged.defaultMemoryMbytes and defaultRunOptions.memoryMbytes are now 256 (were 1024), minMemoryMbytes 128 (was 256); max 2048 unchanged. The README names no memory size and already says there is no start fee.requirements.txt: apify pinned to >= 4.1.0, < 4.2.0 (was >= 4.0.0, < 5.0.0).tests/test_invalid_input.py..actor/actor.json: new exampleRunInput, equal to the input-schema prefill
({"mode": "latest", "cliLocations": ["MIA", "NYC", "ORD"], "reportKinds": ["full_day", "partial_day"], "maxItems": 100}).
It has no contactEmail, so like {} it runs the free sample path: no requests, 4 sample records
(isSample: true), nothing charged. {} behaviour and cost are unchanged.tests/test_sample_mode.py: the no-e-mail test also runs the exampleRunInput, and a new test checks that it equals
the prefill, has no contactEmail, and gives the same records as {} with 0 requests and 0 charged.CHANGELOG.md: new file, this entry.
