The firstworks Weather Cache caches data from the Weather API of your choice.

Designed to be API agnostic.

Develop applications using the Weather API of your choice
or...
Integrate the cache seamlessly into an existing application.

Improve Page Load Times by accessing local data instead of downloading it from across the internet.

Without the cache:

With the cache:

Minimize Request Counts by hitting the cache instead of the Weather API for every request.

Weather badge exceeding your request count limit?

Don't slam the Weather API.

Cache data locally and slam the cache instead.

Avoid Cross-Site Scripting Issues by sending AJAX requests to the cache hosted on your domain.

JSONP or CORS not an option?

No problem.

The firstworks Weather Cache acts as a local proxy.

No need to worry about Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) errors.

Grid-Snap Mobile Devices. Every mobile request is slightly different...

Variations in latitude and longitude can defeat attempts to cache weather data.

The firstworks Weather Cache "snaps" mobile devices to a grid.

Requests only vary when they snap to a new point.

Drop-in Simplicity. Install the program and prepend it to your Weather API call.
