Dark Sky #10

Open moriel5 opened 7 years ago

Can you please add Dark Sky as a weather provider? It is one of the few providers that the area where I live shows up correctly, and it is by far the best one for my area (according to my research). Unfortunately, with Baidu, the location is grossly incorrect, in my case.

I've already register as a developer in DarkSky, and I'll see it.

I'm guessing that using this feature will cost money, since Dark Sky have a strict limit imposed on the amount of requests per day. If you need a tester, I am also registered there, so I can test it without it taking up anything from your account. And if you will ask for payment to use this feature, I hope that it will be possible to pay you without it requiring the Google Play Services, as I always set up my devices without them.

Hi, is there any progress in this direction? Since I'd love to use Geometric Weather, however Baidu Location keeps on getting my location wrong (because of falsified legal issues in my country).

I imagine this may be off the table due to Dark Sky's acquisition by Apple :(

The Dark Sky has been already acquired by Apple, and its API is about to stop service in the future. So... There will be no Dark Sky anymore unless Apple brings its API back online.

And about the location service. I want to know whether using a native location service can solve your problem.

Somehow I was not notified of your reply from before, so I am sorry for the late reply.

Yeah, I'm preparing for the demise of Dark Sky's public API as well, which is a huge shame (at least WeatherBit.io appears to be working well for me under testing (via Today Weather, still needs further validation), however some of of the features, such as climate and air quality require a hefty price with their API, so that is a problem).

Do you mean by using something like a combination of UnifiedNLP (Google Network Location Provider replacement) and ordinary satellite positioning? If so, I think it may work well. I love to test that out.
