Required API Keys

This application uses the Mapbox geolocation API to determine the precise lattitude and longitude of a given location.

1. Register for a Mapbox account
2. Navigate to the Tokens dashboard and create a new public token.

The latitude and longitute are fed into the Dark Sky weather API, which retrieves an accurate forecast for the selected location.

2. After signing in, you will get a secret key

Both Mapbox and Dark Sky are paid services that allow for up to 1000 calls a day for free. If you wish to host this application publicly, you may need to upgrade your API access.
