Weather APIs are a pain in the butt! I tried a bunch out when I was implementing weather, but most have terrible search functions, super restricted data, or both.

I'd much prefer to use one without an API key, but would prefer a decent search + api key to no key and a poor search function. Particularly I'd like the search function to return good results for US zip codes, which was a problem last time I checked.

Open to suggestions!

I have used in the past OpenWeather API, from their pricing page the limits look acceptable for the plugin.

An alternative without any API key needed is wttr.in.

OpenWeather was what I used initially. I switched to yahoo 3 years ago because the search function was a lot better: 0a27f0f#diff-f291ee819880fbed672999e9412f3c28

Then when yahoo discontinued, I switched to mapbox & dark sky: f0980f2#diff-f291ee819880fbed672999e9412f3c28

I think I switched away from openweather both because they required an API key while yahoo didn't at the time, and because its search function was not very good. It may have gotten better, I don't know

all this nonsense kind of makes me want to return to just scraping a web page
