@ -38,13 +38,19 @@ The Norwegian Meteorological Institute offers a free weather API. It has a rate
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}"`
this: `"{app package name}[signature:{app siganture hash}] {@string/metno_contact}"`
### Bright Sky / Deutscher Wetterdienst
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.
