⛈️ NWS Active Alerts Scraper
🚀 Export NWS records in seconds. Pipe results straight into your spreadsheet, dashboard, or data warehouse.
The NWS Active Alerts Scraper turns the National Weather Service active alerts API into a clean structured dataset of current US weather alerts. Filter by area, severity, urgency, and event type to focus on what matters.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| 🚨 Emergency managers | Track every active US weather alert. |
| 📰 Broadcasters | Power on-air weather alert tickers. |
| 🏠 Insurance teams | Anticipate claims as severe weather develops. |
| ✈️ Aviation ops | Adjust flight plans around weather. |
📋 What the NWS Active Alerts Scraper does
- Fetches the public NWS feed at
https://api.weather.gov/alerts/active. - Parses the response and flattens each record into one structured row.
- Casts numeric values to numbers, dates to ISO strings.
- Surfaces upstream errors as a clean
errorrecord instead of crashing. - Pushes everything to the dataset, ready for instant download.
💡 Why it matters: NWS publishes the data, but the raw response is awkward to work with. This actor normalizes everything into a flat schema that drops straight into pandas, BigQuery, or a Google Sheet.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: area_desc, certainty, effective, event, expires, geocode, headline, id, instruction, results, scrapedAt, sent, severity, urgency. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
⚠️ Good to Know. Free users are capped at 10 records per run as a preview. Paid users can pull up to 1,000,000 records.
🚀 How to use
- Click Try for free.
- Adjust the input filters or leave defaults.
