A simple MSN Weather API wrapper with built-in TypeScript support.
msn-weather is a powerful Node.js library that allows you to easily retrieve weather data for any location in the world.
As the name suggests, this wrapper uses the MSN weather API behind the scenes.
Install this package using NPM:
npm install msn-weather --save
import weather from "msn-weather";
const data = await weather.search({
location: "Munich, DE",
language: "en",
degreeType: "C"
});
To use this library with CommonJS, use this approach:
const weather = require("msn-weather").default;
You will receive a JavaScript object looking like this:
