The OpenWeather API is one of the most powerful and comprehensive weather APIs available today, allowing developers to build a wide range of applications and services from simple weather forecasting to complex weather analysis. With access to global weather data from a wide range of sources, including professional and amateur weather stations, users can gain insight into climate change, predict storms and floods, better manage existing and developing weather hazards, and more.
The OpenWeather API is designed to make life easier for developers, by allowing users to easily interface with detailed and reliable weather data. Here are a few ways developers can use the OpenWeather API:
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
openweather_api: {
type: "app",
app: "openweather_api",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather`,
params: {
zip: `20500,us`,
appid: `${this.openweather_api.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Retrieves the current weather condition by location longitude and latitude. See the docs here. For more accurate reading, you are advised to fill in the country and/or state code
Retrieves the current weather for a given (ZIP, country)
Retrieves 1-16 days weather forecast for a specified location. See the docs here. For more accurate reading, you are advised to fill in the country and/or state code
Retrieves the 5-day weather forecast for a given (ZIP, country)
OpenWeather API uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your OpenWeather API account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to OpenWeather API APIs in both code and no-code steps.
Please review the OpenWeather guide on how to sign up for the service and generate an API key.
