LocationDataResponseStationId Property

public string StationId { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property StationId As String
	Get

Property Value

If the Location in the LocationDataRequest was a StationIdLocation, this property will simply hold the canonical form of that weather station's ID. We say "canonical" because it's possible for a station ID to be expressed in more than one way, like upper case or lower case. The canonical form of the station ID is the form that you should display in a UI or store in a database if appropriate.

If the Location in the LocationDataRequest was a GeographicLocation, then:

• If the data was calculated using a single station (the usual case), this property will hold the canonical form of that station's ID.
• If the data was calculated using multiple stations (something that the API might optionally start doing at some point in the future), this property will hold the ID of a "virtual station" that represents the specific combination of weather stations used.

Either way, the station ID held by this property can be used to fetch more data for the same station(s) that were used to generate the data in this response. For example, you might want to request data using a GeographicLocation initially, and then use the returned station ID to fetch updates each day, week, or month going forwards.
