counter for open weather calls #18

Closed AdelaideBaron closed 1 month ago

AdelaideBaron commented 4 months ago

Step 1:

investigate how to implement
minimise resources
is there an api to call from open weather for this?
or do we need to keep count in the service?
if so, how to do (without a database)?
could have a very simple file with the dates...

step 2:

implement
re-review https://home.openweathermap.org/subscriptions - check it's 1000 calls limit

plan to put message on website when getting close to limit
