A simple wrapper for the Yahoo! Weather API.
It supports internationalization via YAML files. Just checkout the i18n directory to figure out how to add support for your language. Forked and updated by modsaid to match the URL parameter p of the yahoo weather forcasts.
Weatherman depends on Nokogiri. If you don’t have the Nokogiri gem installed in your machine, please do:
gem install nokogiri
and then:
gem install yahoo_weatherman
or simply add the dependency to your Gemfile
gem "yahoo_weatherman", :git => 'git://github.com/modsaid/yahoo_weatherman.git'
Weatherman is very easy to use. Just search for a city woeid in the Yahoo! Weather homepage and have fun! url: weather.yahoo.com/search
client = Weatherman::Client.new response = client.lookup_by_city_code 'EGXX0001' response.location['city'] => "Alexandria" response.location['country'] => "EG" response.condition['date'] => #<Date: 2010-12-28 (4911117/2,0,2299161)> response.condition['temp'] => 23 response.condition['text'] => "Fair" ptbr_client = Weatherman::Client.new :lang => 'pt-br' reponse = ptbr_client.lookup_by_woeid 455821 response.condition['text'] => "Parcialmente Nublado" response.condition['country'] => "Brasil"
