Verdict

A Swiss avalanche and snow source, alongside meteoswiss-open-data. Licence: CC-BY-4.0: the SLF data service page says "The data is subject to the licence CC BY 4.0" and "The data that can be obtained through the channels mentioned on this page are free of charge." Special data requests are bespoke work invoiced separately, not a paid tier of these APIs. The page says the interfaces are not sized to serve customers' own systems directly. Rate limits: the page says "It is not permitted to use electronically provided services of the SLF in a form that could impair, overload or damage the infrastructure of the SLF." Signal Lab links only.
