How to get the most recent National Weather Service radar images?
<p>I am trying to get the most recent NWS radar images using c#. There are <a href="http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/RadarImg/NCR/OKX/?C=M;O=D" rel="nofollow">directories</a> on the NWS website that contain a list of the most recent images. However, the files are named by the date uploaded, not in numerical order. They are generally uploaded every few minutes, but the exact amount of minutes can vary by as much as 5 minutes. To get the URLs of the images, I could write an XML parser to extract the URLs from the index page, however this seems over complicated for such a simple task. In addition, this index page is not an API, and if they might change something with the format that would screw up the XML parser. Is there some other way to get the URLs of the most recent images?</p>
