Retrieving 2D data from a meteo website based on ArcGis

Viewed 6

I'm a complete newbie in this matter so please ... be patient!

I have a similar (though more complex, I believe) problem to this (Save data from ArcGIS feature layer) with the comprehensive answer by AaronS.

I thank in advance whoever might be supportive.

My goal is to retrieve (via time based script) data for real time processing from a meteo website (https://www.meteo3r.it/app/public/) based on ArcGIS. In particular, I need two types of data:

A) the most updated values of all measurements available IN A GIVEN METEO STATION (or ALL, then I will filter out)

B) two pixels maps with the radar measurement of rain intensity AND type of fall (rain, heavy rain, snow, hailstorm, ...) FOR ALL AVAILABLE GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES

Type A) Data seems available every 30' with a 1h delay while type B) seems more frequent with a 5' sample and 10' delay. Everyone agrees ?

For sure I will benefit of the python code (thank you Aaron again!) to turn data into column vectors as soon as I will be able to retrieve data from the server. And that's exactly the point I'm stuck at.

For A), thanks to Aaron explanation, I found this URL (https://www.meteo3r.it/dati/mappe/misure.geojson) that contains all the measurements for ALL stations at, I believe, the most updated value in time.

B) is definitevely tougher. I can't find anywhere the place where the radar data is stored and how to retrieve it. The only thing I found is that if you search for the word "radar" as Aaron did for "14001", the only file found is this "66xxx.pbf". It's a partially readable binary file that I suspect (not fore sure) is related to sprite images (pixel drawings) that are graphically showing the radar measurement on the map. Indeed, the website shows something like 10 subsequent sprite images to show a "dynamic motion" of the clouds. I just need the data in numerical form (lat, long, intensity, type) related to the most updated sprite available on the website. Anyone knowing how to do it ?

Thanks a lot removing this roadblock to me.
