Important: Apixu switching to the new API - admin - 02.10.2019
Apixu is switching their API to a new service called Weatherstack.
This means that you have to modify your weather scripts with new URL and API keys. Unfortunately, their free tier does not provide any forecast data anymore, only current conditions. HTTPS is also not provided for free tier.
Code:
require('json')
http = require('socket.http')
escape = require('socket.url').escape
key = 'your_key_here'
location = 'your_location_here'
url = 'http://api.weatherstack.com/current?access_key=%s&query=%s'
url = string.format(url, key, escape(location))
res = http.request(url)
data = json.pdecode(res)
if type(data) ~= 'table' then
alert('failed to load weather data')
return
end
if data.error then
log('error', data.error)
return
end
current = data.current
-- temperature
grp.write('32/1/1', current.temperature)
-- "feels like" temperature
grp.write('32/1/2', current.feelslike)
-- humidity as percentage
grp.write('32/1/3', current.humidity)
-- wind speed in kilometers per hour
grp.write('32/1/4', current.wind_speed)

grp.write('32/1/5', current.uv_index)

-- precipitation amount
grp.write('32/1/8', current.precip)
