Mapping warnid between https://warnungen.zamg.at/wsapp/api/getWarnstatus and https://warnungen.zamg.at/wsapp/api/getWarningsForCoords

[PhilippKolmann]

I am fetching all warning from https://warnungen.zamg.at/wsapp/api/getWarnstatus and to get the details I use the center of the polyline and use then https://warnungen.zamg.at/wsapp/api/getWarningsForCoords. The getWarningsForCoords API returns alls warnings, where this municipality is affected.

My issue now is, how to match those warnings.

At this moment I see 5 Warnings from getWarnstatus with the following warnIds and level/type:

• w4533c2v1 - L1 T2
• gwa575617 - L1 T5
• gwa575618 - L1 T5
• gwa575619 - L1 T 5
• w4534c0v1 - L1 T2

When accessing the CoordsWarnings, I can match warnings of Type 2 quite nicely by warning-ID:

• w4533c2v1 -> 4533
• w4534c0v1 -> 4534

But Type 5 warnings seem to have only a general warning for details:

• gwa575617 -> 5 (?)

Why can't the warnid from the Status API and the Coords API be the same?

Here are the JSON files from the API calls with the IDs as stated above:

getWarningsForCoords?lat=46.49116600072378&lon=14.179543040865784&lang=de.json
getWarningsForCoords?lat=46.49373852286723&lon=14.279251758854166&lang=de.json
getWarningsForCoords?lat=46.585553174951244&lon=14.495548996033989&lang=de.json
getWarningsForCoords?lat=46.836358784151244&lon=14.361070347470651&lang=de.json
getWarnstatus.json

Even better would be an API endpoint, where one could query details for a warnid...

thanks @PhilippKolmann, providing the files was helpful. I'm looking into the missing warnids

just a clarification on those warnings prefixed with gwa:

• these are ephemeral automatic warnings provided by weather stations when their sensory equipment register certain conditions, hence the "general warning" character.

[PhilippKolmann]

One more question: gwa for "Gewitter" seem always to have type 5 and start with gwa5XXX

Is this a coincidence or can I use this? Will gwa always map to type 5?

Is there any Description on the different 'types'?

hi @PhilippKolmann

It's been a while... sorry.

But, yes thunderstorm warnings are usually prefixed with gwa, since they are automatically generated unlike other warning types (meteorologists create them manually)

I need to check if I can find a better description for the types

Hi,
i would be also interested in types and also would like to ask when and how does the warnId change in case of /getWarnStatus?
Does it also change when gemeinden list changes? Or only when type, level, start or end? Which part of warnId?

"properties": {
    "warnid": "w10c202507030v11",
