WeatherLibrary provides you with a standardized protocol for getting weather data for you apps.

To include WeatherLibrary into your project you can either download the repository and add a refference to the library from your project, or you can compile the library by itself and include a refference to the built dll file.

To get the weather for today from a specific location:

OpenMapDataService.setApiKey("YOUR_OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_API_KEY");
IWeatherDataService weatherService = WeatherDataServiceFactory.GetWeatherDataService(WeatherDataServiceFactory.OPEN_WEATHER_MAP);

CityLocation location = new CityLocation("Tel Aviv");
WeatherData data = weatherService.GetWeatherData(location);

GetWeatherData gets the current weather at the specified location optionally specifying if the result should be in celsius or fahrenheit (defaults to celsius if not specified).

WeatherData GetWeatherData(Location location, [WeatherUnits unit]);

GetWeatherForcast receives the same parameters as above except returns the forcasted weather for the next few days.

List<WeatherData> GetWeatherForcast(Location location, [WeatherUnits unit]);

GetUVIndex returns the current UV index as a float for the given location.

float GetUVIndex(Location location);

In WeatherLibrary there are a number of ways you can specify a location:

Specify a location by city name with an optional second paramter for the countries code (e.g. IL for Israel).

CityLocation(string city, [string country_code])

Specify a location via it's longitude and latitude

CoordinateLocation(float lon, float lat)

Specify a location by a zip code and country code

Ziplocation (string zip, string cCode)

WeatherLibrary can be extended to include other weather APIs, but out of the box it comes with a data source for openweathermap.org. To use the OpenWeatherMap data source you need to get an api key by signing up to their site, and then set the api key before calling weather functions by calling:

OpenMapDataService.setApiKey("YOUR_OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_API_KEY");
