API

[ A ] /data/2.5/onecall - CURRENT WEATHER AND FORECAST by Coordinates

[ B ] /data/2.5/weather - CURRENT WEATHER by Query

[ C ] /geo/1.0/reverse - GEOLOCATION INFO by Coordinates

The use of free OpenWeatherMap API key does not allow us to obtain all information through a single endpoint, so we are forced to triangulate information between them.

  • Issues

[A] - It is not able to be called with query parameter and has no info about location (name and country)

[B] - It can be called with query parameter but the response has no info about FORECAST data.

[C] - It is just a geolocation endpoint.

  • Solution

CASE 1 - Fetching user current location / default location in first render

Flow:

[ A ] WEATHER and FORECAST -----> [ C ] LOCATION missing info

CASE 2 - Fetching weather by search term

Flow:

[ B ] WEATHER  -----> [ A ] FORECAST missing info
  • API key

You can find/change API key on .env file persisted as REACT_APP_WEATHER_API_KEY
