FAQ - AlphaX2/joshi-weather-lib GitHub Wiki

##What is wetter.com? Wetter.com is a german weather service with a free to use API. It allows up to 10.000 calls/month. If you need/want more or need a buisness account you can ask them via mail for details. API link: http://www.wetter.com/apps_und_mehr/website/api/

##What do I need? You need 4 things:

1. wetter.com account
2. wetter.com project name
3. wetter.com API key
4. wetter.com city code

All you need is a (free) account at wetter.com, There you can create a new project (project name) and you'll get a API key. To use the API you need the projects name, the API key and a city code (until the search part is not finished you have to hard code it). You get the city code if you copy it from the url shown after you searched at wetter.com for your city (NYC: US0NY0993).

##Why is it called "joshiweatherlib"? It's my brothers name. I've created this lib to write a weather widget for Ubuntu. And now I want to share it to the oss world. :)
