The Norwegian Meteorological Institute offers a free weather API. It has a rate limit of 20
|
||||
requests/s. You do not need to register or to provide an API key, however they require an
|
||||
identification and contact data to be present in the User Agent header in each request.
|
||||
|
||||
It should also be noted that MET Norway only supports weather requests by lat/lon and the responses
|
||||
do not include geocoded names. This means a geocoder has to be present in the operating system for
|
||||
this provider to fully work (most devices ship a geocoder as part of the Google Play Services). If
|
||||
no geocoder is present, manual location mode will not be supported and the weather widget will show
|
||||
the lat/lon values instead of a location name.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Uncomment `metno_contact` in config.xml. Fill in your contact data (an email address or a website
|
||||
where your contact data can be found). This will be used in the User Agent header, which will be
|
||||
composed like
|
||||
this: `"{app package name}[signature:{app siganture hash}] {@string/metno_contact}"`

Bright Sky is an API that converts the data as published by the Deutscher Wetterdienst in an easier
|
||||
to work with JSON format. The API is free to use and requires no additional configuration, however
|
||||
it only provides weather data for locations in Germany.

|

\* This weather provider does not provide any means of geocoding or location lookup. Instead, the
|
||||
Android Geocoder API is used to lookup locations (in fixed location mode) and location names (in
|
||||
auto location mode). While most devices ship a Geocoder as part of the Google Play service, some
|
||||
might not have a Geocoder installed. In these cases, this provider might not work properly (no
|
||||
support for fixed locations and lat/lon values will be displayed instead of location names).
