Simple and coherent interface on top of several weather APIs.
It's a bit more than a proof of concept so things may still change drastically. No help welcomed yet.
- wapis_services(): returns an array of services (names only)
- wapis_query($service, $latitude, $longitude, $count): query the given $service as for specified coordinates
The $service argument is a string representing the service (see services
below). No explanation needed for $latitude and $longitude. The
$count parameter set the number of records to retrieve, if supported by the
services. Note that the $count parameter may not be honored.
A call to wapis_query() produces a response data like this:
[service] => forecast
[weather] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[ts] => 1426789436 /* Timestamp of the weather observation, if available */
[temp] => 57.25 /* temperature in celsius degrees */
[windspeed] => 4.10 /* wind speed in kmph */
)
...
Optionally, the following keys may be provided:
- "current", filled with the current weather informations
- "hourly", filled with hourly forecast
More data and documentation will be added soon.
