The Weather Channel, working with Apigee Corporation, has developed The Weather Channel API Console. This console is a “sand box” that allows you to experience the full functionality offered by The Weather Channel API, for FREE, prior to subscribing so that you can make an informed decision. The console allows you to manually submit requests to the API for each component of the API content catalog (excluding at the current time, U.S. Maps) and to see exactly what data is capable of being rendered back to you in either XML or JSON format.

To take advantage of this functionality you must be a registered user. Registration also provides you access to The Weather Channel API Implementation Guide and TWC Icon Set and, at a future date, the ability to post to The Weather Channel API Developer Forum, once the forum has been made available. Registration is quick and easy.
