Package Exports

node-accuweather

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (node-accuweather) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Accuweather Node

Installation Instructions

In your project directory, run:

npm install --save node-accuweather

Usage

Get your AccuWeather API Key at http://developer.accuweather.com/user/register.

var accuweather = require('node-accuweather')()(YOUR_API_KEY);

To Get Current Weather Conditions Based on Keyword Location (In Farenheit)

accuweather.getCurrentConditions("New York")
  .then(function(result) {
    console.log(result);
  });

/*
 { Summary: 'Cloudy',
   Temperature: 61,
   RealFeel: 57,
   Precipitation: { Value: 0, Unit: 'in', UnitType: 1 } }
*/

In Celsius

accuweather.getCurrentConditions("New York", {unit: "Celsius"})
  .then(function(result) {
    console.log(result);
  });

/*
{ Summary: 'Cloudy',
  Temperature: 16.1,
  RealFeel: 14,
  Precipitation: { Value: 0, Unit: 'mm', UnitType: 3 } }
*/

Note that this will return the "best match" result based on a keyword search, so "New York"s in other places besides the US won't return a result. See below to query based on specific key.

Listing Location Keys Based on Keyword Search

Using the same example, but with New York, NY's specific AccuWeather Location Key.

accuweather.queryLocations("New York").then(function(result) {
  console.log(result);  
});

To Get Current Weather Conditions Based on AccuWeather Specific Location Key

Once you have your location key, you can get the current conditions based on that.

// Using location key for New York, NY
accuweather.getCurrentConditions("349727") // can be type string or Number
  .then(function(result) {
    console.log(result);
  });

/*
 { Summary: 'Cloudy',
   Temperature: 61,
   RealFeel: 57,
   Precipitation: { Value: 0, Unit: 'in', UnitType: 1 } }
