Home Weather Stations with Programmatic Access to Sensor Readings?
For those looking for a Weather station with an API (Programmatic Access to data):
1) Ambient Weather
- JSON Formatted Data
- Connection secured by key
- Lot of weather stations (from $100 to $1000)
2) WeatherFlow Smart Home Weather Station
- REST API and local data access via UDP and BLE
- Solar powered
- AI / Machine learning improves forecasts over time (someone has more informations?)
- $299.95
3) Acurite
- Open source API that can be installed on Rasperi PI: acuparse
- But unavailable in most European countries...
4) Vantage Pro2
- Solar powered
- From $600 to $1300 for the Vantage Pro2 or $240 for the Vantage Vue (weather station only)
5) Froggit weather stations
- From 65€ to 314€ (more if you take more screen with it)
- Looks hard to configure access to data. Configure the console to send to weewx

To be continued... (Feel free to comment if you see more informations to add to this answer)
A different approach is to look at some of the already existing weather software available, and see which weather stations they support. One can assume that those weather stations have a reasonably accessible interface, which you could use.
I'd check out some of the stations supported by for instance wview or Weather Display.
