.env File

The .env-file has to at least contain the API_KEY value, mapped to your OpenWeatherMap API Key! The location value is optional, in case you don’t want to call the script with the location. When doing so, the script needs to be called with .env as the location parameter!

# Example .env file
# OpenWeatherMap API Key
API_KEY=<OpenWeatherMap API Key>
# Optional
LOCATION=<city_name,state_code,country_code>

OpenWeatherMap

OpenWeatherMap provides an API to geocode the given location to latitude and longitude coordinates. In addition to that it provides an API to get the current weather of a location and the forecast.
