What is Reddit's opinion of OpenWeather?

I don't have any sensor at home but I get the data from Airnow, PurpleAir and Openweathermap.

This is the exercise mate. :) Try to make what OP did here using this API.

Want to make it a bit harder? Use localStorage to store the cities for future uses.

Even harder? Use Google Maps API to show your search locations and maybe Autocomplete for the search input

Supposedly so. I use some assets from Dark Sky in my weather sites, so I am trying to figure out what to use next. Most likely openweathermap.org

>API
Our API service for existing customers is not changing today, but we will no longer accept new signups. The API will continue to function through the end of 2021.

Well https://openweathermap.org gives drizzle (fog), rain, snow, clear, clouds and thunderstorm as main weather condition. And wind speed as an other value. Since they also use OpenStreetMap for roads etc. I assume they would use something like this.

{ coord: { lon: x.17, lat: xx.03 }, weather: [ { id: 804, main: 'Clouds', description: 'overcast clouds', icon: '04n' } ], base: 'stations', main: { temp: 8.33, pressure: 1026, humidity: 76, temp_min: 8, temp_max: 9 }, visibility: 10000, wind: { speed: 6.7, deg: 210 }, clouds: { all: 90 }, dt: 1512575700, sys: { type: 1, id: xxxx, message: 0.005, country: 'NL', sunrise: 1512545563, sunset: 1512574110 }, id: xxxxx, name: 'xxxxxx', cod: xxx }

Sure. I created an api account at https://openweathermap.org/api
Its free, has limitations on how many times you can call. I believe it's one million calls a month for local weather for the free account. I use the ArduinoJson library to parse the information from my account api link.

Simple.

I created a discord bot that helps you interface with https://openweathermap.org/

You would type something along the lines of "weather in Dallas". It would not only fetch weather in Dallas, but would cache the request in case someone else in another discord chatroom would like to access data on Dallas. It gave a 5 minute timeout for the cached results.

I somehow obtained these statistics for internet usage in the following cities:

Budapest 7,498,044
Prague 8,400,059
Berlin 71,727,551
London 59,333,154
Vienna 7,135,168
Paris 55,429,382
Rigga 1,628,854
Tallinn 1,106,299
Helsinki 5,117,660
Warsaw 25,666,238
Lisbon 7,015,519

I then created unfair dice to simulate a request from one of these cities( along with some timezone related dilation that peaks at Noon and 8pm)

I then ran this simulation for about a day against another requester that counted the total number of requests.

I then created visualizations and printed statistics about how much we saved in terms of request volume by implementing this caching.

The caching reduced the number of actual API requests made to 20% of the requests the original one made. I then laboriously linked the reader to more resources on caching.

Overall, The project demonstrated:

my ability to construct self contained classes for something like the unfair dice.
my knowledge of things like caching and its performance benefits.
my understanding/familiarity with http requests to web API's.
My ability to interact with 3rd party SDK's like Discord's bot interface.
ability to test performance of my code
stats reasoning
communication skills through documentation

And the weather app simply copies data from https://openweathermap.org/ into transactions and thats it. So its data that comes from there and not data from bsv users.

Its a useless application and only meant to spam transactions so it looks like bsv has usage when its 95% bullshit like this.

I saw in a post from the main pogo reddit that this Open weather map is a possibility.

What is a RESTful API?

Well an API is an application programming interface. Which looks like nonsense, but if you look at each word individually it makes sense. Application or in other words a program. Programming, as in for writing code. Interface, a set of agreed upon rules for accessing that application. Put it together and you have: A set of agreed upon rules for accessing the program via written code.

REST stands for Representational State Transfer. That's stupidly complicated to explain and also not that important. Basically it's stateless and generally uses http verbs and the most typical media type is json. Also the urls of the api are based on the resource being accessed.

For example: I have a database full of books and I wanna share that data so it can be consumed. If somebody wants all the books they go to https://mydomain.com/api/books using a GET variable. If somebody wants to create a book, they hit same endpoint with a HTTP POST variable and a json body full of data about said book.

If you don't know what json is, it stands for JavaScript Object Notation and it looks like:

{ "title": "Effective Java", "isbn": "978-0134685991", "author": "Joshua Bloch" }

A good way to mess around with APIs is to use the Postman app and hit an open api with it. https://openweathermap.org/appid Probably a good one to start with.

If you're making the API in Java, I would suggest using Spring Boot with web. From start.spring.io

https://www.javadevjournal.com/spring-boot/spring-boot-application-intellij/

That's because it's not related to Minecraft. Nor is it a mod.

Basically all you need is an OpenWeatherAPI key (which you can get from HERE.

Paste your key into the RealSerene config.

Create apps and share them with friends or release them on the app store. It doesn't have to be "the next big thing".

I recently did a online course on mobile app development and what I realized is that tutorials are one thing and actually making apps is something else. When making an app on your own you get errors and exceptions which you'll have to do some research on stack overflow to fix them and this is where you'll learn the intricate details of any programming language. Some apps you could try to build are:

1.) A weather app which interacts with a weather API eg openweathermap (free) gets user's location (coordinates) and shows them the weather at their location.

2.) A simple online shopping app where users can view products and add items to cart

3.) A fast-food restaurant app where users can create an account, login, view a menu and create an order

It doesn't have to be a complete application but just give it a shot. You'll discover lots of gaps in your knowledge by doing this but you'll learn a lot too.

>I love this idea, but how does it work when you live in places like europe? Will it still be able to input cities to track data from?

Thanks. I'm not sure what you mean, does the city appear in: https://openweathermap.org/

If so it should work, I'm not collecting any data...you can also just run a weather of your choice and leave the city field blank if you want.

Not completely anonymous but requires only email and password to sign up: Openweathermap

Been using this API for now over half a year and never had any problems. Not a single email from them.

I got this from a mod of MiniWeather, which had a nice resource in it by xxenium. It's a file that uses RegEx to parse a weather.com page and pull the data off it.

I'm looking at switching to https://openweathermap.org/api in the hopes of getting a cleaner code.

I'd see if I could leverage some existing tools as much as possible. For example, can you create alerts using Weather Underground and IFTTT? Simplest example might be to use 2 different IFTTT triggers (depending on time of year) - during cold season, if tomorrow's high is above 45 degrees, send an email/text to alert you it might be warm enough to ship products?

There are a few layers of complexity here though, given that it's based on client location and not just yours.

Next step up from there is to utilize an API from a weather source, and write a script that pings it daily for all orders where status == "SWWP". Each day, for each order where status == "SWWP", query a weather API for the order zipcode. If minimum temp > 45 AND maximum temp < 79, send an email to the sales rep on the account saying "HEY MAYBE YOU CAN SHIP THIS ORDER!" You can use Python crontab or similar to schedule this script to run daily.

Depending on the climate at your location, you might need to make the same check on both locations. If it's > 80 at your address, don't bother checking any orders because it's too hot on your end?

Check the WUnderground weather API or OpenWeatherMap API docs as a starting point. Alternatively, DM me and I may be able to help code up the framework of a few functions. It's probably not much more than 4 hours' work.

Thought I could give my 2c on a couple of your ideas. (I'm in a similar place education wise but use Python for data analysis/computation)

Reddit:

As I see it you have 2 options here:

you can scrape the HTML of the front page using something like requests and BeautifulSoup then simply find the number of comments and sum them up. This would be quite simple but sometimes manipulating the HTML can be a pain
Use the reddit API (https://www.reddit.com/dev/api/) to connect to the front page and access the comments through that. I read a post relatively recently where someone had made something similar and it looked pretty easy too!

Weather texts:

My suggestion here would be to go and look for an API for a weather service (https://openweathermap.org/api from a quick google). Once you can successfully get the data you want from it you could set up a little Flask (a lightweight web framework) application which could be set to get the data every few hours.

Texting it to yourself I'm not so sure about but I think you would be able to find an online text service which you could interact with.

(I am terrible at comment formatting)

We're currently getting our weather data through the OpenWeatherMap API, and we're updating the temperature based on the elevation that the shelter is at. ATWeather.org uses a different API source for his weather data. It's likely just the difference between where those sources get their data.

We are thinking about switching weather data providers though, because OpenWeatherMap leaves a lot to be desired. We went with them initially because they allow us to do the most requests for free, compared to other alternatives, so weather would be more up to date throughout the day.

If it's possible (and if you have a thermometer with you), could you let us know what the actual temps are those mornings at that shelter? It would be a great help trying to figure out what weather API sources are most accurate.

Thanks!

You need to add a schema to your URL (eg. 'https://'):

import requests

api_key = "x" city_name = "New York" weather = requests.get(f'https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={city_name}&appid={api_key}') data = weather.json() print(data)

On a site note, the idea behind a version control system like git is that it keeps track of any changes made to code. The api key you accidentally left in your code and then edited out is still visible in the revisions. I would recommend you delete this api key and generate a new one ;)

Looks like it’s available via OpenWeather.

Seems straightforward to implement, although if Tesla is still committed to developing their own maps then it’s unlikely that they’ll want to make that transition anymore complex.

Lets say you're making a controller for a sprinkler system, you can set a timer relatively easily, but wouldn't it be nice if it could automatically check the forecast, and adjust how much it waters based on how much it's going to rain, or how much it's rained in the past few days?

Well, that's where APIs come in. You can make a request, and get the desired information in a defined format. Example: https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-api

If you didn't have an API, you might have to buy a weather station to measure the rainfall, or you might have to scrape the data from a human readable web site, the format of which can change and break your program without notice.

Please double check you haven't just shared your API key. If you have, edit and remove it!

The documentation is always your friend: https://openweathermap.org/current

Read it and click through to the sample API calls for your usage - I'm being purposefully vague to try and help you learn what to look for, so I'll just tell you to look closely at what the API actually returns.

Let me know if this is too vague!

Here is a list of watch faces with working weather. You will need an Openweathermap API key for them to work. People have suggested paying for Rebble. That won't have any affect on watch faces. That only adds weather to your timeline.

Here at Openweathermap we also offer an easy way to migrate from Dark Sky API to One Call API: https://openweathermap.org/darksky-openweather. With our free account, you can use specific APIs (Current Weather, Minute Forecast, Hourly Forecast 2, Daily Forecast 7, Historical weather) as much as you want for any location as long as you are within limits of 60 calls per minute. If you have any questions you can always contact us at: [email protected]

I'm not sure your use case, but have you considered openweathermap There are a few different api calls and you can have up to 60 calls a minute for free. I used it to make a twitter app that tweets the weather for my state in emoji form.

It works with java script or can export to an xml file if that helps.

You can get that directly from the National Weather Service API. It doesn't even require an API key.

Here is a quick example that will give you the forecast at the Empire State Building (coordinates = 40.748433,-73.985656)

curl -L "api.weather.gov/points/40.748433,-73.985656"

Inside of the response are URL's for different tasks, including the 12 day forecast. Then just make another curl call to that URL:

curl -L "https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/OKX/33,36/forecast"

Open Weather map has an API too that will let you do it one call, but there are limitations on the free plan. More on that here

There is a GNOME Shell extension called OpenWeather, which relies on https://openweathermap.org/ or https://forecast.io, at your choice. Also if the API key for OpenWeatherMap provided by the developer doesn't work you can make your own account and have your own key.

To answer question #2 you can check out this page on the Homer Github page. It has instructions on how to integrate OpenWeatherMap into Homer. Unfortunately I believe you need to pay to use the OpenWeatherMap API so there might be a better way to do this :(

Soweit ich das verstanden habe, kann man nur Echtzeitdaten oder historische Daten abrufen, keine Vorhersagen.

Für Vorhersagen kann ich die Weather API von OpenWeather empfehlen. Nutze diese seit über einem Jahr, und finde die Vorhersagen ähnlich genau und gut wie die des DWD.

Following API documentation, the default returned temperature unit is Kelvin.

303 °K is 85,73 °F (29,85 °C), so it's looking you forgot to convert temperature unit. :)

Got Tasker? I use this to send weather data from https://openweathermap.org/api to a face; Tasker thankfully has been greenlighted for background processing of GPS and what not, so can poll as often as you like and send more customisable data.

https://openweathermap.org is a good alternative.

But, if you're looking for accurate data from the middle of nowhere, you aren't going to find it without creating your own forecasting models- which require an extensive knowledge of meteorology, or by fetching data from the nearest local weather station relative to the forecast area.

>Let's say you're making a webpage which shows the user's local weather:
>
>Find out the user's current location
>
>Talk to a weather service to obtain the latest weather info
>
>Display the temperature and an icon for the type of weather
>
>Make the page look pretty

Don't feel obligated to follow that list in order. Gaining and maintaining momentum early on can help you to feel less frustrated about the speed of your progress. It's not quite 'instant gratification', but it's more instant than following the list in order. You can get fake data from most API docs and work on "Display the temperature" first.

The JSON data from an openweathermap.org API request looks like:

{ "coord": { "lon": -122.08, "lat": 37.39 }, "weather": [ { "id": 800, "main": "Clear", "description": "clear sky", "icon": "01d" } ], "base": "stations", "main": { "temp": 282.55, "feels_like": 281.86, "temp_min": 280.37, "temp_max": 284.26, "pressure": 1023, "humidity": 100 }, "visibility": 16093, "wind": { "speed": 1.5, "deg": 350 }, "clouds": { "all": 1 }, "dt": 1560350645, "sys": { "type": 1, "id": 5122, "message": 0.0139, "country": "US", "sunrise": 1560343627, "sunset": 1560396563 }, "timezone": -25200, "id": 420006353, "name": "Mountain View", "cod": 200 }

Source: https://openweathermap.org/current

You could use that template as fake data and get to work on rendering the data first and worry about forms, event handlers, and building and sending the GET request later on. It might give your app a little more substance early on and can inspire you to continue with the project instead of abandoning it out of frustration with some of the trickier parts.

You should start making projects. They can be very simple. Webscraping is a common Python beginner project.

You could try to make a weather app using a GUI like tkinter, or something similar. Don't worry if you're overwhelmed at first, take it one step at a time.

For example, a full weather app may seem overwhelming (or not, I don't know where your experience is at). So instead of the full app, try just sending a request to a weather API like https://openweathermap.org/api, and assign the temperature to a variable. Once you have that, see if you can get a zipcode from the user, and get the temp in that zipcode. How should the app handle a non-valid zipcode input?

Publish it on Github. Post here for feedback. It's better to write bad code than no code.

You will need to make sure that you get an API key from OpenWeatherMap: https://openweathermap.org/appid

Here is all of the info that the API provides: https://openweathermap.org/current

Here is a pastebin link of the code:https://pastebin.com/f79pcFWN

Let me know if that works.

I took my city info out, you will have to replace the name, longitude, and latitude to your own

> I will probably be using wttr.in itself and just taking data from there

Oh definitely don't do that. Take data from a source API rather than ripping it from someone else. There's tons of free weather APIs: https://openweathermap.org/api

Yet another lamp with a few extras. The main reason I built this was to have a diffuse light that doesn't hurt while playing games or making music.

Since sometimes I don't notice receiving a message on my phone it should also be a way to help my wife to signal me that she needs my assistance (with kids, household, whatever). A short alarm test video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZeafJxzuA0

So I designed a web interface for it with different lighting programs and also some special "alarm" modes that can be activated by her.

Usually the display below the lit area shows the time (and optional: date and current weather), but in case of an alarm a customized message can be displayed.

Pictures in part don't represent the final build because I had to rebuild the frame again (this time in black PLA). It's also a lot more sanded and doesn't show any obvious seams.

Frame printed in 5 parts, around 40h print time on Ender3 pro. Acrylic glas as diffusor with additional sanding for better finish.

Controlled via local wifi, using esp32. Display is a monochrome 128x64 oled, light strip is 143 leds using ws2812. It's a shame they only use 8bit-pwm.

Weather is fetched every hour from openweathermap.org, time uses an NTP server (adjustable time offset in web interface).

The location for which to receive weather data is changable and in case no wifi could be detected it acts as an AP to enter new wifi credentials.

You will want to consume an API. There are quite a few free weather APIs I would imagine such as https://openweathermap.org/api .

You'll also want to get familiar with requests and json.

Using requests you can pull the data from the API and then do what you want with it.

Finished building and it works great. I'm not the best at programming, how can I change how often it checks the weather at openweathermap.org ? It seems to check every minute and I'd like to change that to every 20 or 30 minutes

Here at Openweathermap we also offer an easy way to migrate from Dark Sky API to One Call API: https://openweathermap.org/darksky-openweather. With our free account, you can use specific APIs (Current Weather, Minute Forecast, Hourly Forecast 2, Daily Forecast 7, Historical weather) as much as you want for any location as long as you are within limits of 60 calls per minute.

I've been happily using OpenWeathermap's API:

https://openweathermap.org/forecast5

Easily parsed with Tasker, and I've written some tasks that send the weather out my goTenna devices when I'm not in range of any networks. Works fantastic!

https://openweathermap.org/api

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start

Here's a weather and geo api, maybe combine the both to bring up locations which will be sunny for a weekend near a particular area or something

Interesting certainly varies from person to person. I would a good start would be to find an API that interests you, and build an application with different views that fetches data from the API and uses it in different ways.

Open weather API is a good one I've used before:

https://openweathermap.org/api

Someone last week posted an app they made in React using the "Cocktail DB" for mixed drinks which was really cool.

https://www.thecocktaildb.com/

>It doesn't seem to be accepting any cities I put in.

search cityname in https://openweathermap.org/ , for multiple cities with same name, enter: pincode, countrycode

Yeah thats a cool idea, will think about it.

Here is the list of all of the icons and their corresponding file names. It's not really something to reverse engineer but rather look up the documentation for.

What part of the script do you want explained?

You could try OpenWeatherMap. Although, it looks to be built with the SaaS service CARTO, not geoserver.

Maybe something like https://truewx.com/demo/pro-dashboard/ if you're just looking for inspiration - again, the backend isn't geoserver.

Here's my personal opinion - you aren't going to get the speed you want with Geoserver serving WFS/WMS. Those specs are great standards and opened up a world of interoperability when they were introduced, but they are old and not necessarily designed with speed in mind. For best performance for rendering large amounts of weather data, you need to look at something like tiling (either raster or vector tiles). You could adapt geoserver for better performance with tile caching or the vector tile extension, but you could also look at services like Mapbox or TileserverGL as an alternative.

Creating a calculator or simple weather app is a relatively simple project for beginners. The calculator can be done fairly quickly with just javascript, html and css. For a weather app, you will most likely want to use a weather api for instance OpenWeatherMap.

Your portfolio website can be hosted through GitHub Pages as long as it is static - it only consists of html, css, and javascript and does not connect to a server for content. You can purchase a domain name and then point your github to the custom domain. This will result in the ability for someone to access your page from www.[insertDomainHere].com. You don't need a domain name for GitHub Pages to work though.

I can't answer to a day in life of a web dev, I'm just a hobbyist.

I searched around a bit and it seems like it pulls data from the OpenWeatherMap API. I'm not 100% sure but the ID from my test responses match and it also returns the same icons.

Just to give you some basic info on how this would be possible. Most Wether Stations around the globe have a api wich is way easyier to work with. https://openweathermap.org/api this for example.

You then can call this (explained later) with this url http://samples.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London,uk&appid=b1b15e88fa797225412429c1c50c122a1

After the "q" in the url you can input the City and after appId you need to put your apicode wich you will need. You can can get the code with a simple registration. Dont use the example key.

Now you need to how you want to acess the data/get it from the api. Since the api returns a simple json string you can work with any programming language that supports getting stuff from the net wich frankly any can.

For PHP you could use the curl functions. You could also write a bash script that uses the linux build in curl command etc. Up to you.

After that you need to extract the information you need. With PHP you can do json_decode to make the json to an array and simply get any variable out of it like you would with a normal array. $array['main']['temp'] for the temperature. Again, every programming language has its own way of processing json.

Now you have all the data you want, you only need to convert it to text. Pico2Wave is the programm your loocking for, it takes a string and generates audio. For PHP shell_exec() can execute this programm.

After that you can play the file with for example aplay again for php shell_exec('aplay filename volume etc...').

Now all you need to figure out is how to start the script programm or whatever you have writting every x Minutes, Again a hint would be cron ;)

I think you should be able to get to what you want with this post. If you rather aim on not learning anything and just using an existing solution and follow a tutorial step by step its also ok. But for that i dont have any videos on hand sorry xD

a plugin that does a wordpress cron (so it doesn't slam the api) every 15 minutes or so to the https://openweathermap.org/ free API. You can then store that value in the database and reference that to add an overlay image to your site.

If you have a small budget I can knock this out for you, shoot me a PM

You have to understand that these API's are basically just 'websites' that instead of returning HTML (that gets rendered into something we enjoy to read) they return something that the computer enjoys to read (typically JSON). That's really all an API is. So the client you use simply connects to another website and grabs (or sends) data.

> So in other words, whats the best way to learn how to work with APIs?

By using them, one step at a time. I would suggest you start with something simpler first though. For example: my IP api. Something extremely simple that just returns your external IP. After you know how to GET that value into your program you can move on to something more complex: https://openweathermap.org/api for example to get the current weather at your location.

> Edit: I was hoping to use java or javascript. Is this a problem?

No both are fine.

For apps like that, those usually need to pull data from a third-party service. API access is not free. Yes, there are free tiers but those have limited access. Free tier is only ideal if you are just doing it as a hobby or making one for yourself. But once you have many users, then you will run into API call limits until you upgrade your tier.

Here's an example of OpenWeather's pricing when it comes to API access.

https://openweathermap.org/price

Create an account so you can get an app id and then

lat = '...' lon = '...' appid = '...' url = f"https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat={lat}&lon={lon}&APPID={appid}" r = requests.get(url).json()

https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-api

No mountains, like at all, highest point is 171m above sea level, close proximity to the sea everywhere, nowhere it's more than 50km to the sea! The dominant wind direction is from the west, that's from the north sea which is pretty much always above freezing. It's not like it's never snowing or freezing, but on average there are maybe 2-3 weeks of snow cover scattered over the winter. It could be snowing one day but then it's melting 2 days later, then a couple of weeks later more snow...

We had snow for a couple of days around Christmas, but today it's 5°C!

Turkey has some pretty tall mountains and you have large parts of the country which are pretty far away from the sea, the average altitude of turkey is 1132m, Denmark is 31m! So location, altitude and inland are the things that affect temperatures a lot.

For comparison our summers hardly ever go much above 30°C, only a few days a year normally, something that I think is pretty common in Turkey.

Take a look at this map, https://openweathermap.org/weathermap

It's pretty obvious that places like Spain, France and Ireland are very much affected by the ocean currents, especially when you compare to US/Canada east coast but also the UK, Denmark and Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany to some extent.

Scratching an itch that I have since I got the e paper display. I wanted it to display some relevant information (to justify me feeding it power continuously), and weather data seems like a start. The module itself has a number of push buttons, so maybe I can add on more features as time goes.

The default font that does have some emojis available, but unfortunately does not include weather emojis. So I had to make do with smiley emojis. 😂

The emojis map to the weather description, and how suitable it is to go outdoors.

"clear sky" = "🙂"

"few clouds" = "🙂"

"scattered clouds" = "🙂"

"broken clouds" = "😀"

"overcast clouds" = "😀"

"light rain" = "😐"

"moderate rain" = "😬"

"heavy rain" = "😦"

"heavy intensity rain" = "😦"

Finally, the weather forecast data would not be possible without OpenWeatherMap.

What is your goal?

You chose C# so I'm guessing either games or apps ^^

Your next step could be getting off the comand line into some guis. Alternatively you could try to fetch some data from an api and parse it/ do something productive. A good start for this could be open weather map as its pretty easy to make a request there and the response is json, which has to be parsed which is good practice for actual projects.

If you feel comfortable with the basics I'd suggest starting some small projects (you dont have to actually finish them) with the goal of learning something new like, db access, gui, providing an api, handling big amounts of data, .. the list goes on.

One of my personal favorites which I use to learn new languages is writing a sorting algorithm visualizer. This helps me solidify syntax and how guis in a given language work.

Hope this helped ^^

There's likely a contract between Loopring and the partner. I'm not talking about a legal contract, I mean an API contact which is an on-paper representation of all of the various API inputs and outputs. This is commonly used in software development so that the front-end and back-end teams can work in parallel rather than the front-end waiting for the backend to be complete before any progress is made. Here's an example of what that might look like. The following link goes on to describe a popular weather API, it shows Zip code as an input (along with a few other required fields) and what the expected output should look like.

https://openweathermap.org/current#zip

So it's entirely possible that a contract has been established and the partner has been working on their app with "mock data" and will be ready to switch over to the Loopring API when all the necessary changes are live. They could very well already be testing against the API and they are in the process of fixing final bugs.

This is very doable. You'll find lot's of projects for weather stations that use an ESP8266 or (preferably) ESP32. They connect to a weather service such as Open Weather Map.

Using their free tier, you can make calls to their server to get the data you want and do whatever you like with the result. There are many videos on YouTube with projects in which people parse the results and manipulate or display them.

This is very cool, thanks for sharing!

I was about to go on a rant about how OpenWeatherMap's data is not libre but I'm totally wrong, it is:

https://openweathermap.org/faq#licence

Awesome stuff!

This is the only national source I’m aware of

As the other poster mentioned you’ll probably have better luck with state level data providing better details.

https://openweathermap.org/api/road-risk

ForecastAdvisor rates OpenWeather dead last, out of ten services it compared for my zip code in 2020, at 59.78% accurate, meaning that the one- to three-day forecasts were significantly wrong 40.22% of the time (147 days) that year. It performed only 12.60% better than assuming the weather each day would be identical to that of the previous day.

OpenWeather Ltd. claims to have “more than 3 million customers”. If so, they must have a little money to invest in effective quality control. If three million customers are really paying for a forecast that’s wrong almost as often as it’s right, there’s no incentive to make that investment. In the post-fact world, you can get away with making up even the weather.

Unfortunately the hourly forecast only provides the next 24 hours. However, using a service like OpenWeatherMap can provide more detailed hourly data for up to 4 days in the future https://openweathermap.org/api/hourly-forecast

OpenWeathermapil on ilmaajaloo API - https://openweathermap.org/history

Selle kasutamiseks vaja ennast regada ja tasuta pakett lubab järgmist:

60 calls/minute
1,000,000 calls/month

Aga mis andmed ja kui head need on, ei ole kahjuks kursis.

You could probably build something similar using

https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-api#list1

Basically just check that the weather>hourly>id

Is between 200 and 599 and you'll cover thundering, drizzle and rain codes. The free API is account will easily let you ping their "one call" API once every 2 minutes. You can also get weather maps there.

Investigate Openweathermap.

They have a very good API that is easily accessible with Python.

https://openweathermap.org/api

I use the OneCall API to get what I need. Once you have obtained a key it’s one (longish) line of Python to get the data you want into a Python dictionary.

current_weather = json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen ("https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat=50.618846&\ lon=-2.450101&exclude=minutely,hourly,\ daily&units=metric&appid=yourkeygoeshere").read())

It seems that a good alternative for sharing weather station data is: https://openweathermap.org/stations

I know that OpenHab has a binding for openweathermap, but I don't know if it can share and receive data.

While analog is possible, I think the easiest option would be a raspberry pi calling a weather API.

For example, this one includes cloud cover, moon rise, set, and phase: https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-api

Is it changing the weather at all? I thought I had an issue with it but it turned out it linked to a different city than I thought it would so I had to select a different city nearby with a unique name in awc_citylookup.txt. I also created another API key specifically for MAS as I wasn't sure if there was a problem using the default API key from openweathermap.org.

If you need to let Monika know you need to change your location you can go to Repeat Conversation > You... > *your name*'s Location.

I see now about the stacks. I thought you meant a widget stack for scriptable, which is different than an iOS stack of widgets (my confusion).

I agree it's a great looking widget, but I didn't realize before about the lighter and darker shades of blue in the rain portion. I find it strange to chart the min precipitation and max precipitation but that's apparently what it is according to that webpage.

It looks like they offer a method with their API to have the graph/chart shown in an app that displays web content.

I think the 500 API call limit per month could be doable depending on how often the widget is allowed to refresh.

The OpenWeatherMap has some great endpoints that can be used and is what was used to generate the widgets shown in my previous comment. I'm not sure what about them is "iOS" in your mind. Both were designed to replicate similar functionality from other weather widgets between both iOS and Android (IIRC).

My desktop operating system is linux, the desktop automatically pulls weather from OpenWeatherMap.org on android, I don't have a particular weather app that I like, but there are a few open source options that use OpenWeatherMap.org data, and I believe they make there own app as well, but I cant vouch for it or any of the android apps.

The description says their Open Weather Map account was suspended because there were too many requests for the free tier. You should be able to get your own key for free and use it in the app somewhere.

> From December 21 (2017) my OpenWeatherMap account will be suspended because the number of requests using my API key significantly exceeds the threshold of the free subscription that is 60 calls per minute. If you need the weather sync you will have to use your own API key for now.

Here at Openweathermap, we offer an easy way to migrate from Dark Sky API to One Call API: https://openweathermap.org/darksky-openweather. With our free account, you can use specific APIs (Current Weather, Minute Forecast, Hourly Forecast 2, Daily Forecast 7, Historical weather) as much as you want for any location as long as you are within limits of 60 calls per minute. If you have any questions you can always contact us at:

The default value returned by the temperature values from openweathermap are Kelvin. You can easily convert.

https://openweathermap.org/current Check the Units of Measurement section. Honestly, you should have googled this first.

It could be that it's a false positive. I can't comment on the other IPs as they're cut off in the pic.

Looking at the first IP though resolves to Weather API - OpenWeatherMap, hosted by Digital Ocean a US based internet service provider. It could be that OpenWeatherMap is what Huawei use to fetch weather data on their devices. The blacklisting on the IP could be outdated where perhaps the site did once host a malicious site but no longer does.

Can't say for sure either way but this was all I found.

I just started playing around with the openweathermap.org API. I actually delivers temp in Kelvin by default, unless you flag either imperial or Celsius in your calculations. I feel like I might need to start telling people that the high today will be 290 K.

Make an account and copy the api key:

https://openweathermap.org/appid#signup

Rightclick the wallpaper in library -> customise wallpaper -> there should be a city and api key filed... enter the details.

The key takes some time to activate on their server so you will get error initially, try after sometime.

One thing to keep in mind when working with weather data is weather forecast != actual weather. If you train your model on actual weather data then feed in forecasts for your predictions you are indirectly feeding in the error associated with the weather forecast, which can cause your model performance to take a hit.

You also have a potential psychological aspect associated with potential customers designing their plans around weather forecasts. If the forecast calls for 4 inches of snow, but the snow never materializes, the business will probably still see a decrease in sales despite the actual historical weather being fine.

Some services that offer historical weather forecasts are Openweathermap and worldweatheronline. If you want actuals, NOAA has some great free historical data.

https://openweathermap.org/appid

Follow the "Sign up and call API for free" instruction to get the api key.

After you get the apikey it takes time to activate on their server... so try after a day or so.

If you are struggling with APIs and JSON I would focus on those first and then move on to callbacks.

A super simple API/JSON project would be one that returns the current weather at a particular city based on the openweathermap api: https://openweathermap.org/current

> It looks like he's already doing this with wf(cond) but there again the wording bothers me; e.g., I'd rather use Clear skies instead of sky is clear.

Just FYI, the wf(cond) and wi(cond) values aren't processed by Kustom, they come from the weather provider directly.

For open weather map, for example, they correspond to the description value returned by the API and you can see all the possible values here.

So if you use that provider, you could simply go through the values and write a regex formula to catch and replace the wordings you don't like.

plenty of choices for programming interface depending on how detailed you want it, you can register with a service to fetch basic forecast. a free account on openweathermap.org allows 60 requests per minute or 1 million calls/mo, should be more than you need.

this is just a url request with your user token which returns a json object. if you need more help than that, get an account somewhere so you have data to work with.

Open the Rainmeter\Skins\henr1k zephyrus\@Resources\variables.inc file and update the "CityCode=" value with the number that openweather website gives you for your city. E.g https://openweathermap.org/city/***4350049***

I don't think it's broken, they were taken from https://openweathermap.org/current#current_JSON

Use the same structure, the problem being weather being a list. Mostly been trying to turn that said list with unlist (which works on the console), but can't get it to add it into the data frame.

You need to go to https://openweathermap.org/ and create an account. Then you’ll get an api key you can put in that will fix that. I believe there are some instructions right near the top in the script if you open it in scriptable.

Same here. Now I go to openweathermap.com and search for the city I want, and take note of the city code that shows up in the URL.

Example:
https://openweathermap.org/city/<strong>5391959</strong>

San Francisco = 5391959

https://openweathermap.org/ sign up for this site, it's free

and then after you click API keys, and you'll need to copy it into the script which should be at the very top when you open the script

* * SETUP

* Use this section to set up the widget. * ======================================

*/ // Get a free API key here: openweathermap.org/appid

const apiKey = ""

Openweather has icons for every condition they provide:

https://openweathermap.org/weather-conditions#How-to-get-icon-URL

Request the image and create a horizontal stack with the icon & text

I don't think that's the issue - I just tested putting in Kuala Lumpur into OpenWeatherMap's site, and they have data there.

Can you try making a new script in Scriptable, and pasting this in (adding your API key between the ""), and seeing if you get the same error?

const apiKey = ""
const weatherReq = "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat=3.139003&lon=101.686852&units=metric&lang=en&appid=" + apiKey
const data = await new Request(weatherReq).loadJSON()
console.log(data)

For weather and Google Sheets, I have been playing with OpenWeather, https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-api being called via Google Apps Scripts. I am not sure I can replicate all the features of IFTTT (like if it starts to rain, write to a Google Sheet). But I hope to schedule some scripts to log weather data to a sheet each day. I can share more details after I get mine setup if you would like. Hope that helps.

PM me in like an hour and I can help you out if no one else sends something. I’ve built a quick app using pure JS and the OpenWeather API so I should be able to give you good examples.

OpenWeatherAPI - Call current weather data for one location

I made a weather app based on OpenWeather API. It's able to show forecast for nearly next 5 days.

Try to implement any application on existing APIs, for example: Spotify

Hello, I really love Lively its the best THE BEST and I only have on big problem, so i recently updated Lively to V1.0 and its amazing but my problem is with one of the new wallpapers, the ripples one. I don't know how to add my city and all, it keeps on saying to enter openweathermap.org and stuff but i try and try and nothing works i really want to see the weather on that cause it looks amazing but i just don't know how. Pls help.
