WeatherWeasel
We have taken the standard Weather Underground api and made classes and methods to return the data. To use this, you'll need a Weather Underground API key from here www.wunderground.com/weather/api/ (Anvil Developer package is free). Export an environment variable called WUNDERGROUND_API_KEY with your key in it.
This is still a work in progress and any help you'd like to volunteer would be greatly appreciated! If anything is unclear please let us know.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'weather_weasel'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install weather_weasel
Usage
Export an environment variable called WUNDERGROUND_API_KEY with your Wunderground API key in it.
require 'weather_weasel'
p = WeatherWeasel::Location.new("Portland", "OR")
p.all_highs # An array of all highs in the forecast in imperial format
# => [61, 54, 69, 70]
p.high # The highest high in the forecast
# => 70
p.high("metric") # The highest high in the forecast in metric format
# => 21
Setting Metric/ Imperial
p = WeatherWeasel::Location.new("Portland", "OR") # Default is imperial measurements
p = WeatherWeasel::Location.new("Portland", "OR", "metric") Set all measurements to metric
p.high("metric") # Set a specific method by passing "metric" or "imperial"
All Methods
p.forecast_raw # returns all forecast data from Wunderground API in JSON
p.high # The highest high in the forecast
