OpenWeatherWidget

Tiny desktop widget for weather updates using the OpenWeatherMap API.

Status

⚠️ Work in progress - not ready for general use.

Configuration

The widget reads configuration from:

~/.config/candywidgets/openweathermap.toml

Example:

[general]
api_key = "your_api_key_here" # Get a free API key from https://openweathermap.org
city_id = "your_city_id_here" # Find it in the url of your city at https://openweathermap.org/find?
units="metric"

⚠️ WIP - Full configuration format will be released later.

API

• Currently uses Weather API v2.5.
• While this API is deprecated in favor of One Call API 3.0, it still works as of today.
• One Call API 3.0 is free for up to 1000 API calls per day, but requires payment information for subscription.
• Migration to v3.0 may be considered later.

To-do

• TOML configuration file
• Fetch and parse weather data from openweathermap.org
• Complete configuration
• CLI args
• GUI - iced
• Migrate to One Call API 3.0
