[NFBCS] solar and space weather

[Doug Lee]

Cool stuff! Question though: I hit F5 (Refresh) every few minutes but only saw the latest SEP event,
timestamped 22:10 Eastern (my conversion of course), at 22:35 Eastern. I think that means that there is a
delay between event and posting, but my question is, how much is that, and how much could be a web caching
issue instead?

Also, if you have a quota limit on that API and have a preference how often people refresh, please let me
know and I will honor it.

Thanks much for sharing and best of luck with your weather app.

if you are interested in the extreme solar weather currently happening, i have made a solar and space weather page from data i retrieve from the nasa API.

it is very straightforward and text based.
the descriptions of the solar events are written in very technical jargon.

www.onisland.com/solar

the coding necessary to gather data like this is an interest of mine.
i have written other web apps to show the nasa picture of the day that also has a full text description.

i am now working on a national weather service app to show the full text of weather alerts.
