puter.drivers.call("weather", ...)

Get current weather or weather forecast from weatherapi.com.

Note: links in this documentation will not go directly to the relevant location on their respective page because of a lack of anchor links

The weather driver has two methods:

• weather
• forecast

Syntax

Using weather

The weather method has a default parameter called q, which is the "query" for the weather location. It supports coordinates, zip/postal code, city names, and any other input specified in the weatherapi docs.

Because the weather method has the same name as its respective driver, it is not necessary to specify both the driver and method name.

// Using the default parameter
puter.call('weather', 'Ottawa');

// Using named parameters
puter.call('weather', { q: 'Ottawa' });

// Specifying both the driver and method name.
puter.call('weather', 'weather', { q: 'Ottawa' })

Using forecast

The weather driver also has a method called forecast. To use this, specify "weather" as the name of the interface, and then "forecast" as the name of the method. This requires passing at least three arguments to .call().

// Using default parameter `q`
puter.call('weather', 'forecast', 'Ottawa');

// Using named parameter `q`
puter.call('weather', 'forecast', { q: 'Ottawa' });

Parameters

Parameters are the same as on the weatherapi.com /current.json endpoint
