# OpenWeatherWidget
|
|
|
|
Minimal weather widget for your desktop updates using the [OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org) API.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
⚠️ Work in progress - not ready for general use.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
The widget reads configuration from:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
~/.config/candywidgets/openweathermap.toml
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[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
|
|
|
|

|
|
- [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.
