Q: What types of locations can I retrieve weather from? A: Any valid location that exists on the source site — including cities, regions, and specific coordinates represented by location IDs.
Q: What is the difference between using start URLs and location names? A: Using direct URLs or location IDs is more efficient, as it skips the additional lookup step required for text-based location queries.
Q: Can I customize the output fields? A: Yes. The scraper supports both extension and mapping functions, allowing you to modify, add, or remove fields dynamically.
Q: How do I know if my input is invalid? A: The scraper halts immediately and displays clear error messages whenever an incorrect input format is detected.
Primary Metric: Average consumption as low as 0.0152 compute units per location when using direct URLs. Reliability Metric: High success rate when processing structured URLs or location IDs, with consistent parsing behavior. Efficiency Metric: Optimized request handling results in smooth performance even for batches of 50+ locations. Quality Metric: Produces complete and consistent weather records including temperature, wind, humidity, and forecast details.
