Seems like that is indeed the case. But that does not explain the need for logging.

However, in these days weather APIs are the ones you can actually query without API keys.

See, for example. https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api

There is a forecast for you:

`curl -X GET "https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/TOP/31,80/forecast" \ -H "Accept: application/geo+json" `

All the third-party APIs for weather just try to artificially monetize them, because under the hood the information is typically governmental funded.

See, for example, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40589172



Not specifically related to your point, but government provided weather APIs might not be a thing in the US in the future: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2024/07/noaa-pro...
