Examples

There are a few full examples in the examples directory that can be referenced. 1 is a command line application and 1 is a simple web application.

package main

import (
    "log"
    "fmt"

	// Shortening the import reference name seems to make it a bit easier
    owm "github.com/briandowns/openweathermap"
)

func main() {
    w, err := owm.NewCurrent("F") // fahrenheit (imperial)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalln(err)
    }

    w.CurrentByName("Phoenix")
    fmt.Println(w)
}

Current Conditions in metric by location name

func main() {
    w, err := owm.NewCurrent("C") // celsius (metric)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalln(err)
    }

    w.CurrentByName("Phoenix,AZ")
    fmt.Println(w)
}

Forecast Conditions in imperial by coordinates

func main() {
    w, err := owm.NewForecast("F")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalln(err)
    }

    w.DailyByCoordinates(
    		&Coordinates{
    			Longitude: -112.07,
    			Latitude: 33.45,
    		},
    )
    fmt.Println(w)
}

Current conditions in metric by location ID

func main() {
    w, err := owm.NewCurrent("C")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalln(err)
    }

    w.CurrentByID(2172797)
    fmt.Println(w)
}
