open-weather-map

A gem wrapper for the OpenWeatherMap API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'open_weather_api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install open_weather_api

Usage

# get 3 hour forecast for London
OpenWeatherApi.city("London").forecast

# get current weather for city with id = 524901
OpenWeatherApi.city_id(524901).current

# get 16 days of forecast in metric (not imperial) units
OpenWeatherApi.geolocate(lat: 45.321, lng: 34201).forecast(daily: true, units: "metric") 

# gets 14 days of forecast instead of 16 - note that #geolocate can take an object that responds to #lat and #lng methods
OpenWeatherApi.geolocate(ObjectThatRespondsToLatAndLngMethods).forecast(daily: true, count: 14)

These methods will return an object (either OpenWeatherApi::Forecast or OpenWeatherApi::Current) that contains the JSON response parsed to a ruby hash. The objects act like a hash and also have methods for each key in the top level of the hash if that is more convenient. See the specs for a few examples.

App Id:

# sends your app id with requests
OpenWeatherApi.configure do |config|
  config.app_id = 12345
end
