How is the best-match query from the API's URL handled if I use the icon-eu and ecmwf-ifs04 datasets? For instance, the temperature of icon-eu is 7.3, whereas ecmwf-ifs04 = 8.1.
When I use &models=best-match (local/v1/forecast?latitude=44.4375&longitude=26.125&daily=temperature_2m&timezone=auto&models=best_match), I get 7.3 degrees.
It is only using ICON-EU. ECMWF IFS is not used in best-match. With the recent resolution upgrade from 0.4° to 0.25°, I might consider it in best-match.
Thanks for your answer. Maybe a simple solution for the best match method is to include in the header of the json answer a parameter with the selected model for the best match.
Thanks! Yes, I also considered to display which models are used for a given location. I am struggling with how to display it. Depending on each weather variable, different models are used. To correctly get this information for every weather variable a list of models would be required.
As a temporary solution I might just include a list of "evaluated" models for an API call.

Yes, it would be great to also consider the new ECMWF model's resolution in best-match.
Really perfect work! Thank you so much :-).
Anyway I have a question. Will variable “Is Day or Night” be added in DWD ICON API in the future?
This variable is only availble in Generic API :-(.
Ohh, I am sorry. Simply add “is_day,” in url parameters :-).
Thanks for the question. Glad you figured it out quickly. I also updated the documentation https://github.com/open-meteo/open-meteo-website/commit/c033ea55b4b6ee2407eb91514fc71c8a13a24c6b

Anyway, thanks for your work!
Hi!
Congratulations, you are doing a great job. I've been checking the Best match method and is awesome!
Just one question. In the API call, is possible to know which data model is showing the Best match method?
Thanks!
