Command line tool in Go that shows me the weather for my area, or by zip code. Doesn't exist yet, but Weather Underground wants a website for registration and I don't want to be a liar.

go-wunderground's Introduction

go-wunderground

A simple library/command line tool for working with Wunderground API.

Usage

This is packaged as a library (go-wunderground) and CLI tool (wunderground).

Using the Library

The library is fledgling and in flux. It currently supports the following:

Current conditions (but barely)
Forecast(a little bit more than the above)

See cmd/wunderground/main.go for some usage.

Using the CLI

Install the CLI with standard go get

$ go get github.com/catsby/go-wunderground/cmd/wunderground

You need to register at Wunderground.com/api and get you're own API key. Once you have that, it's probably easiest to put in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc` or whatever you're using...

$ echo "export WUNDERGROUND_API_KEY=youruniqueandawesomekey" >> .zshrc

Now you can use the CLI:

$ wunderground 65203
