OpenWeatherMap

OpenWeatherMap is a haskell library to access https://openweathermap.org/api.

Requirements

OpenWeatherMap is written in Haskell with GHC. All required Haskell libraries are listed in openweathermap.cabal. Use cabal-install to fetch and build all pre-requisites automatically.

Command-line utility

The command-line utility openweathermap provides a means to get human readable weather infromation.

Usage

Usage: openweathermap [(-K|--api-key-file APIKEYFILE) | (-k|--api-key APIKEY)]
                      ((-q|--query STRING) | --lat NUM --lon NUM)
                      [(-n|--current) | (-f|--forecast)] [-d|--debug]

Available options:
  -K,--api-key-file APIKEYFILE
                           Read API key from this file
  -k,--api-key APIKEY      API key
  -q,--query STRING        City name, e. g. Santiago or Santiago,CU
  --lat NUM                Latitude in decimal degrees
  --lon NUM                Longitude in decimal degrees
  -n,--current             current weather (default)
  -f,--forecast            forecast weather
  -d,--debug               Enable debug
  -h,--help                Show this help text

By default, openweathermap reads the API key from the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/openweathermap/key file, where $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is typically ~/.config on Linux systems.
