What is it and why would I use it?

A simple, easy to use library that creates a client that leverages the OpenWeatherMap API (https://openweathermap.org/api). If you want basic weather information about a location, this might do the job for you!

OpenWeatherMap API Key

To use the OpenWeatherMap API, you need an API Key, see instructions at their FAQ on how to obtain one (https://openweathermap.org/faq).

Once you have the key, you should set it as the OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY environment variable.

Mac/Unix

export OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY=yourAPIKeyhere 

Windows

set OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY=yourAPIKeyhere
