Yes and No…..

Not directly, not at the moment. We have developed an API:

API

which allow programmers to create apps, including uploading to CWOP.

The API documentation is available here:

https://ambientweather.docs.apiary.io

As you and others create apps, they are posted at our community listing:

Community

We have also created a website to assist in uploading data to CWOP via our API, which is

https://www.ambientcwop.com

You will need to create an account first.

You will need to create an API key first using the guide below.

How Do I Generate An API Key For Third Party Applications?

Then you can add your API Key to send data from The Ambient Weather Network to CWOP.

Also, you can purchase our Weatherbridge (https://www.ambientweather.com/amweatherbridge.html) and OBSERVERIP (https://www.ambientweather.com/amobserverip.html ) which together will report to CWOP, APRS and 30 other Weather Networks.

The ObserverIP module also communicates with your sensor array.

Visit the following product page for more information: https://www.ambientweather.com/amobserverip.html

1. If you own an Observer Series, you need only add an ObserverIP module.
   Choose WS-1400-IP under Station Settings when setting up the module.
2. If you own an Osprey Series, you also need the indoor thermo-hygrometer-barometer: https://www.ambientweather.com/amws1000bth.html
   Choose WS-1600-IP under Station Settings when setting up the module.
