• Current weather
  • By city: /:city
  • By zipcode: /country/:country/zip/:zip
  • By coordinates: /latitude/:latitude/longitude/:longitude
• Moon phase is available as custom parameter
• 7 days Forecasting endpoint:

Supported output formats

Weather-Go currently supports these formats:

• JSON
• Emojified JSON

For receive the desired format, you have to add the format query parameter.

The JSON format was re-format from original OpenWeatherMap response.
JSON format input: ?format=json.
Example:

{
    "currentWeather": {
        "coord": {
            "lon": "-0.13",
            "lat": "51.51"
        },
        "weather": {
            "main": "Clear",
            "description": "clear sky"
        },
        ...,
        "visibility": "6.00 Km/h",
        "wind": {
            "speed": "7.56 Km/h",
            "degree": "60°"
