Any idea where to look?

EDIT: The Windy point forecast API is accessible through HTTP requests via python, but it's not free of charge. I will investigate the models that they use (listed here: https://api.windy.com/point-forecast/docs)

The issue for the CDS API is still open.

Initially, I was looking for a wind speed forecast dataset, accessible for download via an already existing python API. I ended up using GFS data. Downloading was made easy with the Grib filter. I wrote a small wrapper function in python for my project.
