raster-maps
This skill should be used to build Xweather Raster Maps image URLs (maps.api.xweather.com) — either static map images or XYZ map tile URLs for Leaflet, Mapbox, Google Maps, OpenLayers and similar libraries — from a description of the weather imagery wanted. Use it whenever a task mentions Raster Maps, maps.api.xweather.com, maps.aerisapi.com, an Xweather weather map layer or overlay (radar, satellite, alerts, temperatures, lightning, tropical cyclones, air quality, base maps, admin overlays), a weather map image or tile layer, layer opacity/blur/blend/scale-hsla modifiers, or asks how Raster Maps usage is measured — map units, tile counts, the daily allowance, or how many accesses a static map or tile layer will consume. Also covers Xweather's attribution requirement — the 'Powered by Vaisala Xweather' credit and logo rules that apply wherever Xweather data or imagery is displayed.

Xweather Raster Maps URL builder Turn a description of wanted weather imagery into a maps.api.xweather.com URL — as a standalone static image or as a tile template for an interactive mapping library. This is a different product from the Weather API: different host, different URL grammar, and credentials sit in the path, not in the query string. Two output methods — ask which one Every Raster Maps request is one of two shapes, and they are not interchangeable: | | Static map | Map tiles | |---|---|---| | Produces | A single finished image | A 256×256 tile template a library fetches many of | | Use when | Email, report, dashboard panel, tag, Slack, PDF | Leaflet / Mapbox / Google Maps / OpenLayers / Apple Maps | | Path | {layers}/{w}x{h}/{place},{zoom}/{offset}.{fmt} | {layers}/{z}/{x}/{y}/{offset}.{fmt} | | Interactive | No — no pan or zoom | Yes | If the user hasn't said which one they want, ask before generating anything.
