# OpenWeatherWidget
Minimal weather widget for your desktop updates using the [OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org) API.
## Status
⚠️ Work in progress - not ready for regular use.
## Configuration
The widget reads configuration from:
```
~/.config/candywidgets/openweathermap.toml
````
Example:
```toml
# General configs section
[general]
# API version.
# Available options: "free_2.5" (default), "onecall_3.0" (WIP)
# Other APIs are WIP
api_version = "free_2.5"
# Path to cache file.
# Default: ~/.cache/candydesktop/owm_widget.json
cache_file = "/path/to/file"
# Query parameters section
[query_params]
# API key.
# Get a free API key from https://openweathermap.org
api_key = "your_api_key_here"
# Location parameters.
# One of these must be specified: `city_name`, `city_id`, `lat` + `lon` pair, or `zip`
# `lat=` must always be paired with `lon=`
# Find your city id in the url of your city at https://openweathermap.org/find?
city_id = "5391959" # Example: San Francisco, US
# Measurement units: `standard` (Kelvin, default), `imperial` (Fahrenheit), `metric` (Celcius)
units = "metric"
# Language. Default: "en" (English)
lang = "en"

⚠️ WIP - Full configuration format will be released later.
## API
- Currently supports the [Free API v2.5](https://openweathermap.org/appid). Find details on [OWM](https://openweathermap.org/current) or [Postman](https://www.postman.com/api-evangelist/openweathermap/request/9dt1g2m/call-current-weather-data-for-one-location).
- [One Call API 3.0](https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-3) is free for up to 1000 API calls per day, but requires payment information for subscription.
- Support for student plan may be considered later.
- Support for One Call v3.0 may be considered later.
