webhooks
This skill should be used to design, build, secure, or debug an Xweather Webhooks receiver — the push alternative to polling the Weather API. Use it whenever a task mentions Xweather webhooks, pushed weather data, a weather webhook receiver or endpoint, subscribing to pushed hail/lightning/alerts/storm-cell data, or asks how to stop polling the Xweather API and receive data in real time instead. Also use it when writing the endpoint handler, choosing a data set to subscribe to, or preparing the registration details Xweather needs. Also covers Xweather's attribution requirement — the 'Powered by Vaisala Xweather' credit and logo rules that apply wherever Xweather data or imagery is displayed.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "vaisala-xweather/xweather-agent-skills:plugins/xweather/skills/webhooks" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/vaisala-xweather/xweather-agent-skills /tmp/xweather-agent-skills && ln -s /tmp/xweather-agent-skills/plugins/xweather/skills/webhooks ~/.claude/skills/webhooksFrom README
Xweather Webhooks Xweather pushes data sets to an HTTPS endpoint you own, instead of your application polling data.api.xweather.com on a timer. The payload is byte-for-byte the same shape the Weather API returns, so existing response-parsing code is reusable with almost no change. Webhooks are a premium add-on requiring a separate subscription, and endpoints are registered by Xweather staff — not self-service. There is no API call or dashboard toggle that turns this on. Say so early: the work splits into what the user can build today (the receiver) and what needs a conversation with their account executive (the subscription and registration). When webhooks are the right answer Reach for them when the user is polling frequently for data that changes unpredictably — lightning strikes, hail threats, new alerts, storm cell updates. Polling that on a short interval burns accesses continuously and still adds latency; push removes both problems.
