Challenge:
Show current and forecast weather data via
https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat={{lat}}&lon={{lon}}&exclude={part}&appid=….
for a searchable location.
Solution:
Use the above API for the weather at a location defined by lat and lon. Also use the openweather-geocoding API to transform a locationname into lat & lon.
In Action:
Augsburg (DE , Bavaria ) show on map | show weather
Augsburg (DE , Schleswig-Holstein ) show on map | show weather
Augsburg (US , Illinois ) show on map | show weather
Augsburg (US , Arkansas ) show on map | show weather
Augsburg (GY , Mahaica-Berbice ) show on map | show weather
See how this is done with a JCI-Shortcode:
[jsoncontentimporterpro nameoftemplate="openweather-forecast"]
With this JCI-template:
- urlparam: su
- URL:
{% set su = "augsburg" %}{% if urlparam.su %}{% set su = urlparam.su %}{% endif %}
http://api.openweathermap.org/geo/1.0/direct?q={{su}}&limit=10&appid=...
{% set su = "augsburg" %}{% if urlparam.su %}{% set su = urlparam.su %}{% endif %}
<form action=".">
<input type=text name=su placeholder="Insert name of a location" value="{{su}}">
<input type=submit value="Search location and weather">
</form>
<hr>
{% for l in _context %}
{% if l.lat %}
{{l.name}} ({{l.country}}
{% if l.state %}
, {{l.state}}
{% endif %})
<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place//@{{l.lat}},{{l.lon}},14z" target="_blank">show on map</a>
|
<a href="/openweather-forecast/?lat={{l.lat}}&lon={{l.lon}}&su={{l.name|e|url_encode}}">show weather</a>
<br>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
