Become familiar with the OpenWeatherMap APIs.

About OpenWeatherMap APIs

OpenWeatherMap APIs allow us to get weather data for any given location. This data comes with a wide range of meteorological parameters that extend from the historical weather data from the past forty years to the current weather, minutely forecasts over the next two hours, and hourly forecasts over the next week. OpenWeatherMap APIs come with a variety of subscription packages that provide a number of services and features to match a variety of user requirements.

The weather products are based on open data and technologies. These APIs provide access to large amounts of weather data generated from fundamental global forecast models based on convolutional neural networks and various machine learning technologies. Next, these APIs are enhanced with radar-based nowcasts, weather satellite data, a wide network of weather stations, rain gauges, and other weather sensors.

This course is designed for developers interested in developing weather applications. The OpenWeatherMap APIs enable the development of high-quality weather applications that can be delivered to the market quickly.

This course is also meant for users interested in integrating weather APIs into their existing applications. This course will provide an understanding of the various APIs that OpenWeatherMap offers with hands-on examples.

To take this course, a basic understanding of the following is required:

  • Python programming language
  • Django, a Python-based free and open-source web framework
  • Working knowledge of API and their integration
  • Basic knowledge of HTTP requests and their responses
