Command line weather app using Node.js

node-js-weather

Command line weather app using Node.js and OpenWeatherMap.

This library provides an interface to query the current weather and temperature using a zipcode location and the OpenWeatherMap API.

I am not affilated with nor have a formal relationship with OpenWeatherMap.

Using node-js-weather

Example query: node app.js F 90210

In the above example, F is the desired temperature units and 90210 is the desired location as a US zipcode.

Example output:

Location: Beverly Hills    
Current Weather: Mist  
Current Temperature: 64°F

Getting started

1. The OpenWeatherMap API requires an API key. If not done already, please sign up to request a free API key.
2. Install Node.js
3. Download the repository
4. Create config.json file that contains your API key formatted as such:
   { "apikey": "111111111111" }
5. Run the above example query. Please feel free to change the temperature units to celsius 'C' and the zipcode to any US zipcode.
   Note: node-js-weather can handle multiple zipcodes for a single query (i.e. this is a valid query: node app.js F 90210 20001 10001).

node-js-weather's Issues

getting error: "There was an error getting the weather data for 90210"

I am new to node.js, it seems to run ok, but i'm not sure what has gone wrong. I also got an new api key today and put the code in the key file as indicated.
