Tested on android companion, not returning any results

I have experienced similar issues. It is recommended to use a weather API instead. I'll write a tutorial for you about implementing a weather API.

[Uroct]

Hello
Do anyone have an aia file to share, which fetches weather forecast using API key. Since it comes with string of data, I would like to know how to required .extract information.
Thanks

Here is an easy to use Weather API https://openweathermap.org/

It requires you sign up for a personal key to use the API. They provide a reasonable amount of free usage. API Key
This api requires a free API key to work. Obtain your free key from OpenWeatherMap
https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up

You can build something like this using the Web component, the Map and a LocationSensor and the api.

Use the advice in this link Weather app with openweather - #5 by ABG as one way to extract the forecast.

I also tried this free API which allows me to make 1,000,000 calls every month.

@Samuel_Dutton

as its not on my app when compiled.

What exactly does this mean? Extensions usually do not disappear after compiling... please elaborate

[Samuel_Dutton]

Sorry didn't explain myself properly, I meant the extension doesn't work when the apk has been created. I've used it before awhile ago and had no issues till now.

Hey Yash Sehgal
Im working on a project for school where I can use your extension.
So I follow a tutorial on YT but it does not work on my smartphone.
Can you help me with it?

[Gordon_Lu]

The server of this extension is most likely down, or Google has changed something. It is recommended to use an API instead of this extension for now.

[Mathias_Everaert]

okay, how does the API work?

[SteveJG]

Here is one weather api example

That is not called scraping, they are just API calls.

[ChrisWard]

The API is provided by the service for legitimate access to their data. This has nothing to do with scraping.
