Davis WeatherLink upgrade to 2.0

During summer 2018 Davis are updating WeatherLink to 2.0 (WL2). So if You have registered devices before 2017-11-28 You must migrate.

This update is changing their website, as shown in picture, and API.

Their API documentation is found here

The following information is sent out in 2018-06 to users who still haven't upgraded to WL2


As our move to WeatherLink 2.0 proceeds, we are approaching an important update that will affect anyone using the WeatherLink 1.0 API. This may affect you if you use the current API to:
  • Display data on a personal or community web page.
  • Share data with a 3rd party service that is dependent on the API.
  • Access your weather data from our servers.
The current www.weatherlink.com/xml.php API is scheduled to be decommissioned at the end of July, 2018. The new  api.weatherlink.com/v1, available in JSON and XML formats, will be the ONLY functioning API after July 2018. This API works for WeatherLink 1.0 and 2.0 and can be used immediately, but it requires the use of a unique API token.

To generate a unique API token: Watch the Generate API Token video
  1. Log in to WeatherLink 2.0 using existing WeatherLink user credentials. 
  2. Access the account information in the right sidebar, under the username and account picture.
  3. On the account information page, click Generate API Token.
  4. Fill in the required fields and click the Generate button. 
  5. The unique API token will display in the API Token field.
These important changes will help us make continual improvements to the API so that you can access your personal weather station data or share it with 3rd party services faster and with maximum reliability.


If You are using my interface to Weather34  first upgrade to the new WL2 interface URL which also works with WeatherLink 1.0 and confirm the functionality.

Log on to WeatherLink 2.0 choosing "Logon to WeatherLink 2.0"

On the new WEB-page confirm "Migrate".

This will migrate Your account to WL2
Click on "My Account" in the upper right corner and update

Davis have a WL2 walkthrough video found here.
