Google weather API for backup #5

Closed lgaetz closed 12 years ago

Less detail than the current national weather service, but the Google weather API works with zip codes and looks very parsable.

Usage: http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=<zipcode>

I think this would work if the primary site doesn't yield a result. You can also use Canadian zip (postal) codes, but since canadian codes contain letters and numbers, I can't think of an easy way of inputting them via dtmf

There is one problem, this API is unofficial and Google may remove or change it at any time.
