Add Dark Sky as a Weather Provider for Budgie Weather Applet #5

Closed moriel5 closed 4 years ago

moriel5 commented 5 years ago

I had previously posted this on the Ubuntu Budgie Extras GitHub page, due to not realizing that the applet had been forked.

Can you please add Dark Sky as a weather provider, and require the user to provide their own API key

Most commercial weather providers are politically biased as to where I live, and as a result, they either refuse to show the weather at all, or claim that I live in a country that only "exists" politically, and outright ignore my country. From what I see, GWeather does the latter.

OpenWeather, while not being politically inclined (thank goodness), still does not have accurate results in my area (but it is getting better as time progresses). From my research, Dark Sky is the only provider I have mananaged to find that is:

  1. Not politically inclined;
  2. Provides accurate results in my area; And 3. Provides a public API.

Dark Sky is phasing their API. Closing.
