Verdict

A Canadian weather and water API, alongside eccc-msc-datamart. GeoMet is its own OGC API service at api.weather.gc.ca, separate from the MSC Datamart file server at dd.weather.gc.ca (see eccc-msc-datamart). Licence: Custom: the ECCC Data Servers End-use Licence says "The Information Provider grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use the Information, including for commercial purposes, subject to the terms below." No ban on automated access in the licence or docs. Rate limits: the docs say "The response size is limited to 10 000 features per query." Signal Lab links only.
