Weather Forecast Scraper is for Open-Meteo forecasts (input locations; Open-Meteo API; forecast rows). Not RSS weather feeds. RSS & Atom Feed Extractor is for Known feed XML (input feed URLs; RSS/Atom; feed items). Not Open-Meteo forecasts.

How do dataset, webhook, and dry-run delivery work?

delivery defaults to dataset on the live schema. Dataset output is the billable surface when rows are written. webhookUrl is used when delivery is webhook (and typically not during dryRun). dryRun true validates or samples without the usual dataset/webhook side effects described on the Store schema. Unchanged runs that write zero default-dataset rows typically charge $0.00 on current PPE.

What does a result contain?

Published README Output Example / Sample Output JSON. Treat README samples as illustrations, not a live coverage guarantee. There is no published output JSON schema on the Store page.
