Test a Product Idea in Four Steps

MeteoAlarm maintains country Atom feeds; its old RSS feeds stopped updating in 2026. Start with one small country feed and inspect entry titles and update timestamps. Read the additional redistribution conditions before republishing warning content. An empty feed is not an all-clear elsewhere.

1

Check the Setup

  • Python 3.10 or newer
  • An internet connection
  • The requests Python package
2

Access the Data

  1. 1.Read the MeteoAlarm feed list and terms, including redistribution requirements.
  2. 2.Fetch one country Atom feed rather than the Europe-wide feed.
  3. 3.Inspect each entry's issue and update metadata before mapping it to a place.

Run the Python Example

Install the packages, then run the notebook cell.

python -m pip install requests

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://feeds.meteoalarm.org/feeds/meteoalarm-legacy-atom-andorra",
    timeout=30,
)
response.raise_for_status()
root = ET.fromstring(response.content)
namespace = {"atom": "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"}
entries = root.findall("atom:entry", namespace)
print(f"{len(entries)} current Andorra feed entries")
for entry in entries[:5]:
    print(entry.findtext("atom:title", default="", namespaces=namespace),
          entry.findtext("atom:updated", default="", namespaces=namespace))

Test a Useful Signal

Inspect One Country Warning Feed

Check Atom publication metadata for a bounded warning display.

  1. 01Keep feed country, entry identifiers, update times, and official links.
  2. 02Verify warning geometry and validity before showing local coverage.
  3. 03Explain why warning content needs MeteoAlarm attribution and an extra redistribution review.
