Xweather Weather API

Xweather's /lightning endpoint returns global pulse-level observations with timestamp/ISO time and fit-confidence metric; standard queries cover the past five minutes within up to 100 km, while the Enterprise add-on supports polygons, circles up to 500 km, up to 24 hours, and archive access from 2016. The cited output does not document detecting-network identity, pulse/strike classification semantics, retrieval timestamp, archive completeness, or network/product version.
