Weather

Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:

bash
export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"

Get weather data using free services - no API keys needed.

wttr.in (Primary)

# Output: London: ⛅️ +8°C

Compact format:

bash
curl -s "wttr.in/London?format=%l:+%c+%t+%h+%w"
# Output: London: ⛅️ +8°C 71% ↙5km/h

Tips

  • URL-encode spaces: wttr.in/New+York or wttr.in/San%20Francisco
  • Airport codes work: wttr.in/JFK, wttr.in/SFO
  • Units: ?m metric, ?u USCS (Fahrenheit)
  • Limit days: ?1 today only, ?0 current only
  • Save as image: curl -s "wttr.in/Berlin.png" -o weather.png

Open-Meteo (JSON API)

Better for programmatic use. Free, no key.

bash
curl -s "https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=37.77&longitude=-122.42&current_weather=true"

Response includes: temperature, windspeed, weathercode, time.

Get coordinates first

bash
curl -s "https://geocoding-api.open-meteo.com/v1/search?name=San+Francisco&count=1"

Examples

San Francisco right now:

bash
curl -s "wttr.in/San+Francisco?format=3"

Tokyo 3-day forecast:

bash
curl -s "wttr.in/Tokyo?3T"

JSON weather for coordinates:

bash
curl -s "https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=35.68&longitude=139.69&current_weather=true&hourly=temperature_2m"
