[ Feature Request ] Add OpenWeatherMap as provider

Open ccrowles opened this issue 5 months ago • 3 comments

As per title, it would be nice to add OpenWeatherMap as provider, since the others in the app are extremely inaccurate for my country (Italy).

It would be ok even to add an option so that we have to provide our own OpenWeatherMap API key, if that's a problem.

Hi! So I have looked at the openweathermap API a while ago, and though they are paid, I did see a Foss initiative, so that could maybe help me get it without an API key. I will have to contact them and see...

Thank you so much for taking my suggestion into consideration! There is a free API option (I have it) unless they changed it recently? As far as I know it has limits which is why the previous weather app I used to use would require to provide your own API key if you chose OpenWeatherMap in the drop-down menu.

Edit: ok yeah, it's still possible, I believe this guide should still be valid.

Yeah I know there is a free version, however it is extremely limited. Like for example if I remember correctly it has forecast only for every 3rd hour. That's why the Foss initiative would be nice.
