Weather Machine: a universal API for the world’s best forecasts #Weather #Projects #Programming
Hello Weather has released an all-new universal software API adapter for the world’s best weather forecasts.
Today we’re excited to announce a new product that we’ve been working on for a long time. It’s called Weather Machine, and it’s a powerful developer tool that greatly simplifies integrating weather data into your application.
If you’ve ever tried to use a weather API, you probably already know the challenges. Weather APIs are notoriously complicated—every vendor offers their own proprietary data structures and request formats, and they vary in performance, price, accuracy, and reliability. Sometimes services disappear or get shut down entirely. It’s complex, time-consuming, and expensive to work with these systems, which distracts from the main thing you’re trying to do: building a great app!
For the past several years, Hello Weather has developed a sophisticated multi-provider architecture for Hello Weather, to solve these problems for ourselves.
Since the Dark Sky API is shutting down soon, Hello Weather is running an introductory promo period for Weather Machine: you can sign up and use it for free through March 31, 2023. (You’ll also need to have a paid account with the provider(s) you choose to use in lieu of Dark Sky.)

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
