Forecast Plugin

Get the current weather forecast for a given location.

Requirements

• plugins/forecast.py

Setup

• Forecast.io
  • Register for an account in order to get an API key
  • Important: You will be able to make 1,000 API requests per day free of charge. I anticipate this will be enough for 99.9% of users. If you do need to make more, enter your credit card information and you will be billed at a rate of $0.0001 per individual API request (or $1 per 10,000 requests) for any API call past the free 1,000.

Store your Forecast.io API key in config.json:

"forecast_api_key": "FORECAST_API_KEY"
