A collection of Weather API examples with Visualization

\n

(MUST MAKE CHANGES BEFORE USE!!!)

\n
\n

Collection currently contains Darksky & Open Weathermap API Endpoints ONLY

\n
\n

|Author: Blaine Bettencourt |Version: independently set |Methods used: GET

\n
\n

The description within each folder contains API limits for the free versions of the API endpoint used.\nDon't forget to set the API keys used in the requests on the variables tab within the this collection settings screen. dark_key for the Darksky API key & open_key for the Open Weathermap API key

\n
\n

An environment should be created to be used with this collection. It can have an arbitrary name but has to contain the variables latitude and longitutde with coordinates set to the location being examined.

The Darksky API is the largest weather API in use and easiest to use.

\n

Darksky API is now owned by APPLE INC.

\n
\n
\n

Description: method is a GET method that makes a call to the Darksky forecast API for the current forecast only. To change the data returned change the ISO variable within the pre-request script tab.

\n
\n

This Darksky API Postman implementation with visualization displays the data in question on a card to easily view what is important currently with the weather. The API key goes in between the slashes \"//\" in the URL request after https://api.darksky.net/forecast. It can be set using the collection's variables tab.
