Data Source: Open-Meteo Marine API

Use Cases:

  • Sailing and boating
  • Surfing conditions
  • Fishing planning
  • Coastal safety
  • Maritime operations

Dashboard Integration

All Level 2 features are integrated into the enhanced dashboard at /:

  • Pollen Tab - Interactive pollen level cards with visual indicators
  • Solar Tab - Solar potential gauge and PV yield estimates
  • AQI Extended Tab - Detailed pollutant breakdown with health impacts
  • Marine Tab - Wave and tide information (when available)

The dashboard features:

  • Tabbed interface for organized data display
  • Real-time updates using geolocation
  • Responsive grid layouts
  • Color-coded severity indicators
  • Scrollable sections for extensive data

Key Technologies

  • FastAPI - Modern async web framework
  • Open-Meteo APIs - Free weather data source (no API key required)
  • In-memory caching - TTL-based cache for API responses
  • Starlette middleware - Session management and rate limiting

Performance Features

  • ✅ Response caching (60-minute TTL)
  • ✅ Rate limiting (60 requests/minute per IP)
  • ✅ Async/await for concurrent requests
  • ✅ Efficient data transformation
  • ✅ Fallback handling for unavailable data

API Response Formats

All Level 2 endpoints follow a consistent response structure:

{
  "status": "success",
  "latitude": 40.71,
  "longitude": -74.01,
  "timestamp": "2025-11-30T22:00:00Z",
  "data_field_name": {
    // Feature-specific data
  }
}

Status Values:

  • success - Data retrieved successfully
  • unavailable - Data temporarily unavailable (e.g., nighttime solar data)
  • error - An error occurred

Error Responses:

{
  "status": "error",
  "message": "Detailed error description",
  "latitude": 40.71,
  "longitude": -74.01
}

Deployment Notes

Server Startup

Development:

./start_server.sh

Or manually:

python -m uvicorn app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload

Production:

python -m uvicorn app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --workers 4

Important

⚠️ MUST use uvicorn - Do NOT run python app.py directly. The middleware stack (session management, rate limiting) only initializes during ASGI application startup, which requires uvicorn.

Environment Variables

No additional environment variables needed for Level 2 features. All use the Open-Meteo free tier API (no API key required).

Testing

Quick Test Script

# Test all Level 2 endpoints
curl "http://localhost:8000/api/v3/pollen/current?latitude=40.71&longitude=-74.01"
curl "http://localhost:8000/api/v3/solar/current?latitude=40.71&longitude=-74.01"
curl "http://localhost:8000/api/v3/air-quality/current?latitude=40.71&longitude=-74.01"
curl "http://localhost:8000/api/v3/marine/current?latitude=40.71&longitude=-74.01"

Health Check
