weatherdb's Issues

Support scraping Bing, try using Cloudflare workers

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
google dies sometimes i guess...

Describe the solution you'd like
use bing as fallback

Describe alternatives you've considered
Cloudflare workers > Heroku

Additional context
cloudflare is faster

Previously working queries are no longer valid

Courtenay, BC and even Toronto, ON are no longer valid queries and returning the following:

These were working yesterday.

A question about rate limit

Section/Content To Improve

API rate limit

Suggested Improvement

Need to have some details about the rate limit

Notes

• For other weather APIs from the governments (US for example), they often offer free usage, but they also state clearly about rate-limit (can see at weather.gov, under Pricing section)
• Besides the rate limit, I think there should be some details about availability (95% of the time, for example)

Thanks for this powerful API 👏👏👏

the api is not working

I am using your API but it is not working now:

'weather/{lat,long}' broke sometimes

Hello. thank you for making non-api-key db in advance. I'm so glad that I can embed weather tab in my app so easily.

Describe the bug
I got lat,long from chrome locator and tried get response weatherdbi:

// in javascript
const longitude = position.coords.longitude; // chrome function
const latitude = position.coords.latitude; // chrome function
const url = `https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com/data/weather/${latitude},${longitude}`;

but I got failed response with the location nearby my home. After that day, I checked the same code in other place and got the right response. So, for more infomation, I checked these regions in google map that they are indicating certain place in South Korea. And here's the things..

To Reproduce
Four examples with very small changes ~ 0.1 changes in longitude:

• https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com/data/weather/37.407812,127.171824
  Response -> region: Jungwon-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

• https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com/data/weather/37.407812,127.071824
  Response -> message: invalid query

• https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com/data/weather/37.407812,126.971824
  Response -> message: invalid query

• https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com/data/weather/37.407812,126.871824
  Response -> region: Hagon-dong, Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

It doesn't seem to work in certain sections. It's a difficult problem to guess because I can't look inside the code. Can you figure it out? If you can catch the reason, please fix it for useful weather database 😎

Support for different languages

Describe the solution you'd like
Would love to see the results returned in different languages.

An example could be:
https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com/data/weather/fr/newyork
or
https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com/data/weather/newyork?lang=fr

Expense problem due to removal of Heroku's free tier from November 2022

Any suggestions and opinions are gratefully welcomed. Thanks in advance.

The Problem

Hi, I am the maintainer of this API.
As you already know this is a free API and I want to keep it free always. This has been possible so far only because of Heroku's free tier. I was working on handling the increasing traffic and making the API available 100% of the time by distributing the functionality.

But Heroku recently announced that they would be removing the free tier entirely. They mentioned a student plan but details about it were not clearly stated.

Because of this, all the planning and implementation that I was doing to improve API performance while minimizing expenses so that the API can continue to be free is now wasted as it will be very expensive for me.

The API depends on the build-pack feature provided by Heroku which I have not found in other similar services. So, to shift the codebase to a different hosting, I have to modify a major portion of the source code.

As of now, I am not certain about what to do next about this soon-arriving problem though I am eager to continue maintaining and improving the API.

All query's return fail

hi,
it seems that a bug or something else has caused your API to always return with "Status" : failed.

examples:
https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com/data/weather/brooklyn
https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com/data/weather/miami
{
"status": "fail",
"message": "invalid query",
"query": "brooklyn", // or "miami"
"code": 0,
"visit": "https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com/documentation/v1"
}

can you please look into this
thank you

The api is currently down. Can you open it back?

I need your api for a small project, hopefully you will help, thankyou!
