SunsetWx has grown considerably over the last several months. The biggest addition is our RESTful API, which has been built to serve thousands of requests per second. Currently, the API serves the following parameters:
For both sunset and sunrise forecasts, we serve the following:

-Quality via Percentage
-Composite value (derived via an algorithm)
-Composite values for:
- Relative Humidity
- High Clouds
- Vertical Velocities
- Pressure Tendency
-Timestamp information on forecasts
-Model Type
Our API serves requests via GeoJSON: A sample request is provided below:
