Being involved in the Citys IT infrastructure I will say not true . <| sep |> Portland Street or Shanghai Street in Mongkok . Lockhart Road in Wanchai . They have stores lined up one after another selling tiles , toilets , sinks and stuff . You can ask for samples in some of the stores . <| sep |> That organisation offers an API . An API is a way to get raw data . It ' s not a way to get weather information in a humanreadable display . It ' s a way to get basic information , which you can then use to make a humanreadable display . So you would use it by signing up , and having some kind of script which grabbed their information and turned it into HTML , images , etc . Does that help , or did I misinterpret your question ? EDIT This is the kind of information you get from them using pretty much any of Perl , PHP , Python , Java , Javascript , Ruby etc . etc . you would hit up their site via HTTP and get that back , then turn it into whatever you wanted .
