Yahoo shut down query.yahooapis.com ? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54046823/yql-query-service-replacement-now-that-yahoo-shut-it-down

[bharadwaj-raju]

Yes, it does seem like Yahoo has shut down it's query service. I'll update it to use OpenWeatherMap etc soon.

Also, WeatherDesk has been moved to Gitlab, so please open the issue there. I won't be updating this repo anymore.

[bharadwaj-raju]

Actually, I forgot: WeatherDesk has already been updated to use OpenWeatherMap, on the Gitlab version.

Please use that. This repo is old and won't be updated. I'll be archiving it.

Closing.
