@ifraan_/weatherbit.js

weatherbit.js

This a wrapper of the WeatherBit weather API

Instalation

Needs an API key, you can choose a free plan here

Needs Node v14+

Dependencies

axios

To install use:

npm i @ifraan_/weatherbit.js

Usage

You need to initialize the class first with the API key

const { API } = require('@ifraan_/weatherbit.js')
const api = new API(process.env.TOKEN);

Then you can query citys with the function search:

await api.search('New York')

Cache

This library cache results to reduce API usage, so if you keep doing the same query it should return the same result without calling the api again (if the time limit is not exceeded)

If you do not want to cache results, you must specify the option cache_time to be something like 0 ms.

Extra

You can pass options to the search function to tweak the settings as you like

Option	Description	Default
lang	The language code	en
units	M (Metric), S (Scientific) or I (Fahrenheit)	M
debug	Print extra statements	false
timeout	Timeout in ms	10_000 (10 seconds)
cache_time	Cache time in ms	45 * 60_000 (45 minutes)

You can also import types directly from the library and use it as options

const { API, UNITS, LANG } = require('@ifraan_/weatherbit.js');
...
await api.search('Los Angeles, US', {
	units: UNITS.Metric,
	lang: LANG.English,
})
