Looking for access to IBM Probabilistic Weather Forecast API

  • 1.  Looking for access to IBM Probabilistic Weather Forecast API

    Posted 27 days ago
    Hi everyone,
     
    I'm a mathematics student and recently started a small personal project involving weather and probability. For this, I would really like to use the **Probabilistic Forecast API** by IBM.
     
    In the documentation, I read:
    > "The Probabilistic Forecast API provides a variety of statistical forecast content by generating it on-the-fly using proprietary technology from The Weather Company. This API provides a discretized PDF, and/or probability integrations over specified parameter value ranges…"
     
    This would be perfect for my use case, as I'm trying to analyze how short-term temperature forecasts relate to observed daily highs, and eventually train a machine learning model to estimate the probability that the temperature falls into a specific range.
     
    However, I couldn't find the **Environmental Intelligence Suite** or the Probabilistic Forecast API in the IBM Cloud catalog, and I'm not sure how to request access.
     
    Could anyone help me with:
    1. How to get access to the Probabilistic Forecast API
    2. Whether there's a free or preview plan for student/research use
    3. How to get an API key and documentation for this service
     
    Thanks a lot in advance, and sorry if this is not the right group - feel free to redirect me if needed!
     
    Best regards,  
    Felix
