Yahoo Walther APIs shut down

Open Zephyr82 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

The Yahoo Weather APIs are shut down. Therefor the Weather Plugin for efa does not get any weather data anymore. Is there any chance to get another provider for weather data into efa?

one of our members created a little external java program that reads the DWD weather json to provide the current weather warnings for lake constance. The program creates a html file that is included as widget in efa. Additionally he added the water temperature (for vest warning). Until now he did not want to share or publish his code because he said it is "messy" and only works as it is..so no documentation and he learned java with this project. If you would like to take a look anyways, I could ask him again. This is what i looks like in efa. grafik

Well, thank you very much for your reply. I don't care about how messy the code is, I only learned Java while studying for a bare minimum of coding skills. Nonetheless I am willing to look over it, may be help with making the code less messy if that's what helps. To sum things up: I would love to get in touch with your other member and see how we ca figure things out.

kind regards form Berlin have a nice weekend

There is apparently no free Weather API available which allows anonymous usage of weather data.

So first of all, the config item for showing weather data will display an info message that weather data is currently unavailable.
