Documentation for /json/nwstext.py

Note: This is a legacy service that should not be used for new development. The CGI version is the preferred method at the moment. This service does do a needed job of returning multiple product texts for a single product identifier, which is sadly still a thing in the world of NWS text products.

This service requires that you know the product_id ahead of time. This is an identifier created by the IEM attempting to uniquely identify a text product.
