just 1 doubt can't people use weather api using web component?

[Yash_Sehgal22]

@Aarush_Kumar they can use web component but see most of the Api are paid and sometimes they might show inaccurate data My api scraps google weather data. And I didn't wanted to share the api directly so converted it into a extension

@Yash_Sehgal22

it works on my self made api

[gordonlu310]

So good.

Can you post your source code so that others can learn from it?

[vknow360]

@gordonlu310

Can you post your source code so that others can learn from it?

Be precise what exactly you want to learn from this extension's source which can't be learn from web component's source.

[gordonlu310]

I would like to know if he converted the temperatures after getting the data from the web since I don't really know how (I forgot it).

[Yash_Sehgal22]

hey so its like I just converted the temperature to kelvin from Celsius ( using this formula
(x°C + 273.15 = x K)) , rest everything i am getting from google

[gordonlu310]

Got it, thanks!

@Yash_Sehgal22

My api scraps google weather data

which means, you extension is dependent on the Google Weather data as well as your API... so if your server is down the extension does not work anymore... and if Google changes its data your API might not work anymore...
anyone who likes to use your extension should be aware of this...

btw. there are the following free weather APIs, which could be used by the web component...

Ya it is

@Taifun

so if your server is down the extension does not work anymore

Most probably it will not

@Taifun

and if Google changes its data your API might not work anymore...

Like what ? I didn't got you

[Taifun]

you are scraping the Google page to get the data because there does not exist an official Google API...
and Google can change its page at any time without advance warning...
which means in this case your api might fail in scraping the data...

@Taifun

and Google can change its page at any time without advance warning...

It it can happen but the chance is very low

Good Ext

Question... I have an option to use Celsius (Metric) on the Temp, but you don't give me an option to use km/h (Metric) on the Wind Speed?

Am I missing it? Should I do something different?

[SteveJG]

One way to use a weather api Parse a json list using the Web component.

[Jaival_Patel]

@Yash_Sehgal22 The extension doesn't works any solutions?

[Yash_Sehgal22]

Huh...

Not possible, show your blocks

[Jaival_Patel]

@Yash_Sehgal22 Here are my blocks

[TIMAI2]

How do you define place if you have a place which exists in many countries, e.g. Birmingham (UK, Alabama:USA, Indiana:USA, Saskatchewan:Canada), and how do you confirm that the results returned are for that specific place?

[Yash_Sehgal22]

hey hi , sorry for late response

so firstly there is not need to add the symbols as the extension returns the temperature with the symbol

and for this have you waited 5-6 seconds

@Yash_Sehgal22

Note it may take 5-6 seconds to get the information and it works on my self made api

[Jaival_Patel]

I waited for 10-15 seconds still results didn't came.
