Use Weather Underground API for weather plugin

[onotoleonide]

I don't know, OpenWeatherMap seems a bit inaccurate, Weather Underground has free API (requires key though).

For me OpenWeatherMap is ok, Weather Underground seems better but as you said an API key is required and that mess with initial configurations for everyone.

I actually made a modified version of weather.lua, I'll post it there just fyi

do

local BASE_URL = "http://api.wunderground.com/api/[YOUR_API_KEY]/conditions/q/"

local function get_weather(location)
  print("Finding weather in ", location)
  local url = BASE_URL..location..'.json'

  local b, c, h = http.request(url)
  if c ~= 200 then return nil end
  local weather = json:decode(b)
  if weather.response.results then
    local i = 1
    while weather.response.results[i] do
      local cityforreal = "zmw:"..weather.response.results[i].zmw
      get_weather(cityforreal)
      i = i + 1
    end
  return
  end
  if weather.response.error then send_large_msg(thefuckingreceiver, "Not found") return end
  local city = weather.current_observation.display_location.full
  local country = weather.current_observation.display_location.country_iso3166
  local temp = 'The temperature in '..city
    ..' (' ..country..')'
    ..' is '..weather.current_observation.temp_c..'°C'
  local conditions = 'Current conditions are: '
    .. weather.current_observation.weather
  weather = nil
  send_large_msg(thefuckingreceiver, temp .. '\n' .. conditions)
  return
end

local function run(msg, matches)
  local city = 'Madrid,ES'
  thefuckingreceiver = get_receiver(msg)
  if matches[1] ~= '!wund' then
    city = matches[1]
  end
  get_weather(city)
end

return {
  description = "weather in that city (Madrid is default)",
  usage = "!wund (city)",
  patterns = {
    "^!wund$",
    "^!wund (.*)$"
  },
  run = run
}

end

Maybe in another file?

[onotoleonide]

yeah, my file is named wund.lua

[guyspr]

Yeah, add this as a separate plugin. wund works better for me!
