[surface] Metadata for stations and parameters

[mchaamsler]

What kind of metadata for stations and parameters does the user community expect from MeteoSwiss? Are the examples provided sufficient or does the user community need more metadata?

First: longitude, latitude + swiss coordinates (LV95), elevation, name, canton.
Then if you mean for each sensor, the direction, height, model (if we need to check its precision for example) and state (working/not working).

The examples are quite good!
I think the main usage of this repo will be:

1. weather apps -> they need access to real time and forecast data for rain, wind, sun, pollen, etc... with intervals of 10min, 1h, ...
2. AI models -> they need access to historical data (both measures and forecasts)
   for both locating the source of the measure precisely is important

Is there an API or something with which you can get all the weather data for Switzerland like on the Meteo Swiss website?
