Hello! Thanks for reaching out.

We here at Unidata develop and maintain Siphon 
(https://github.com/Unidata/siphon) with funding support from the National 
Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences. Siphon 
is licensed under the BSD 3-Clause License available at

If there's any further information I can provide, don't hesitate to reach out! 
Thank you.


All the best,

> I am writing a web app that connects to Unidata throuhgh siphon API to get

> great site!), but before granting me access to Unidata Server through their 
> hosting services, they would like to check  if UNIDATA:
> -   is an official public API of some kind?
> -  Or alternatively siphon is something that UNIDATA  maintain?
> 
> Please, if possible, send me the confirmation so they allow the access 
> through their hosting service.
> Both organizations, Unidata an Pythonanywhere are great tools for learning 
> and researching purposes, so I think there should be no problema at all.
