What alternative methods or APIs are available for accessing weather data from the German Weather Service instead of extracting information from images?

Instead of extracting information from images, you can access weather data from the German Weather Service using their public APIs. One popular API is the "weather data" API provided by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), which offers various endpoints for retrieving weather forecasts, current conditions, and historical data. By integrating this API into your PHP application, you can easily access accurate and up-to-date weather information without the need to parse images. 

<?php

// Example code to fetch weather data from the German Weather Service API

$apiUrl = 'https://api.weather.dwd.de'; // Base URL for DWD weather API
$endpoint = '/open-data/v2/forecast'; // Endpoint for weather forecast data
$location = 'Berlin'; // Specify the location for which you want the weather forecast

// Build the API URL with the specified location
$requestUrl = $apiUrl . $endpoint . '/' . $location;

// Make a GET request to the API
$response = file_get_contents($requestUrl);

// Decode the JSON response
$data = json_decode($response, true);

// Access the weather data
if(isset($data['product']['time'])) {
    foreach($data['product']['time'] as $time) {
        $timestamp = $time['from'];
        $temperature = $time['temperature']['value'];
        $weatherDescription = $time['weather']['description'];
        
        echo "Forecast for " . $timestamp . ": Temperature - " . $temperature . "°C, Weather - " . $weatherDescription . "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "Error fetching weather data.";
}

?>
