Weather service not working anymore?

[alexgleyzer]

This is probably due to older FW, as a work-around you can use HTTP request instead:

Code:

require('json')
http = require('socket.http')
escape = require('socket.url').escape

key = 'my_api_key'
location = 'my location name'

url = 'http://api.apixu.com/v1/forecast.json?key=%s&q=%s&days=2'
url = string.format(url, key, escape(location))

res = http.request(url)

data = json.pdecode(res)
...

Weather service is working, but from different url 

url = 'http://api.weatherstack.com/current?access_key=%s&query=%s'

will return table data.current like this

* table:
["cloudcover"]
  * number: 59
["visibility"]
  * number: 10
["observation_time"]
  * string: 12:24 PM
["uv_index"]
  * number: 5
["wind_dir"]
  * string: NNW
["humidity"]
  * number: 60
["weather_descriptions"]
  * table:
  [1]
    * string: Cloudy
["wind_speed"]
  * number: 21
["weather_code"]
  * number: 119
["is_day"]
  * string: yes
["pressure"]
  * number: 1017
["precip"]
  * number: 0.1
["weather_icons"]
  * table:
  [1]
    * string: https://assets.weatherstack.com/images/w..._cloud.png
["feelslike"]
  * number: 10
["temperature"]
  * number: 12
["wind_degree"]
  * number: 327
