I had a look before and it seemed to me there was no way to get weather for a longitude and latitude, only by city ID, and there is no endpoint to get the nearest city (and its city ID) for a given longitude and latitude. Let me know if you find anything? In the absence of such endpoint, it's impossibke without bundling a huge database of cities which will not be accepted.

This implies you already know programming? Kotlin is easy and we have documentation. If you already know Java or OOP, it should not be hard.

I sent them a suggestion to add a way to get weather for a longitude and latitude, but I doubt they'll do anything. I'll update if I make any progress or if they make any changes.

I only know Python, and I'm not very advanced, so I don't think that I could code this alone.
