Webhooks - Xweather Webhooks

Xweather API data can be consumed via server-push instead of polling for data. Webhooks are particularly useful when your application needs to consume large amounts of data efficiently and in a timely manner. With this push strategy, Xweather sends data to your application with as little delay and latency as possible.

What are webhooks?

Webhooks are a way for a server to push data to a client, as opposed to the typical HTTP GET request sent by an application or browser to a server. You provide an HTTP URL for the Xweather webhooks system to POST data to. Your application can then react to that data and process it as instructed.
