GribStream Integration Guide

This guide will walk you through integrating the GribStream API with your OpenAssistantGPT chatbot.

Overview

GribStream is a specialized weather data service providing access to raw GRIB format weather data from major numerical weather prediction models including the NBM (National Blend of Models) and GFS (Global Forecast System). The service is designed for professional weather applications requiring direct access to model data, offering parameters such as temperature, precipitation, wind, pressure, and humidity at various atmospheric levels. It's particularly valuable for applications requiring bulk data processing, scientific analysis, or custom weather model implementations.

Using the Integration

Your chatbot can now handle weather-related queries. Here are some example questions you can ask:

• What's the pressure system forecast for North America?

The chatbot will automatically use the GribStream API to fetch and return the requested information.
