Weather workflow

[Yourname]

Thanks for this awesome workflow Jason!

Unfortunately, the feelslike option seems too hard to figure out. I've tried everything, including using it as an argument, and searched in the options and even tried opening the sourc e(at that point, I think my technical understanding went moot lol)

 

How do I toggle, or see feelslike? As you indicated in a previous comment, it should be there.

 

Another thing is, if I scroll on the hourly, it shows no precipitation. But if I scroll on daily (wtd), it says light rain in evening. And also on Thursday (which on wth, it shows only Partly Cloudy)... any idea what's going on?

[jason0x43]

The current version of the workflow didn't have support for apparent ("feels like") temperatures; I've added that to version 1.3.0.

 

Regarding the discrepancy between hourly and daily forecast, that happens sometimes. The workflow isn't actually interpreting the data to generate the forecast text; the text comes directly from the service (Dark Sky or Weather Underground). Sometimes the textual descriptions may not appear to agree with the hourly data. You can double check the workflow by visiting the relevant service (Dark Sky or Weather Underground) and double checking that what the workflow says agrees with a forecast for your location (or whatever location you were checking with the workflow).

Awesome, thanks Jason!

Hi,

 

Thank you for this workflow, it looks really cool, but i have not been able to get this to work. I got my API from Weather Underground here: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/, but i have not been able to use this workflow. It just sits on 'thinking' and that is it then it shows me the google search and nothing..

 

Using this: http://www.packal.org/workflow/weather

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks

 

Miguel

Ah, sorry, I apparently didn't update Packal with the last couple of releases. I'll work on that, but the most up to date info is always on GitHub at https://github.com/jason0x43/alfred-weather/releases.

 

Try the newest release. If that still isn't working, open the debug panel for the Weather workflow in Alfred and post any errors you see there.

[etm001]

EDIT: seems to be working now. Occasionally "ERROR_OVER_QUERY_LIMIT" is displayed but I'm not sure what's causing this.

 

Question: the official screenshots display temperature, precipitation %, and sunrise/sunset as subtext underneath each day's heading, but I only see this information if select a manually scroll/highlight a specific day. Is this a configurable option?

 

------------------- 

 

I have the same problem as Miguel05 using Weather Underground. The debug panel shows the following:

 

Note: I redacted my API key and some other information.

Almost certainly that means you’ve exceeded your allowed number of API calls.

It must have been too many calls per minute.

[RuslanI]

I have exactly the same problem with:

Quote

panic: runtime error: index out of range

error message in the debug panel with WU service. 

 

With DS service everything works just fine

Edited May 3, 2018 by RuslanI

[jason0x43]

I'll look into it. https://github.com/jason0x43/alfred-weather/issues/6

[jason0x43]

So, it looks like maybe you're not getting astronomy data (which contains sunrise and sunset times).

 

Try accessing the API address from your debug log directly in the browser. (http://api.wunderground.com/api/xxxxxxxxx/conditions/alerts/hourly/astronomy10day/forecast10day/q/xx.xxxxxxx,yy.yyyyyy.json). You should get back a page full of JSON data that contains a section starting with

"astronomy10day": [
  {
    "day":0,
    "sunrise": {
        "date": {
          "epoch":1525688961,
          "hour":6,
          "mday":7,
          "min":"29",
          "mon":5,
          "pretty":"6:29 AM EDT on May 07, 2018",
          "sec":21,
          "tzname":"EDT",
          "year":2018

Is that section in there?

With the latest version, after adding my DarkSky API key and a location, I'm still asked to choose a service. Doesn't seem like that gets added to the json config file.

Did you set the service to Dark Sky?

[jeffpees]

Hi there, 

 

Trying to install this workflow and when I try to update the default location it shows "ERROR_OVER_QUERY_LIMIT" in the results. I just created the API key for Dark Sky AND have had no activity with this key yet, so curious on how to resolve this issue.

 

Thanks!

[jason0x43]

I believe you can get that error if you make requests too quickly (like, 5 a second for a couple of seconds), although that’s hard to do with the workflow. When you hit a transient limit (as opposed to the 1000 query per day limit) it should reset in a few minutes. Are you still seeing the issue?

[jeffpees]

Thanks for the prompt response. Looks like I just needed to wait as it worked today!

[mikedvzo]

The "ERROR_OVER_QUERY_LIMIT" appears to be an issue with the Google Location API lookup according to the GITHUB posts.  The workflow works but you cannot query other locations.

Did anyone fix this? It seems that there is a version with a fix for the Google Location API that has been created but no link to download it was provided on Github or here.

[jason0x43]

The problem is that Google stopped allowing requests to its Location API without an API key in June, and apparently I haven't used the location feature in a while. :) To fix it I'll either need to switch to some other location service or required all users to get a Google API key, which is a bit of a pain. It looks like OpenStreetMaps has an open location service API; I'll look into that. 

[jason0x43]

Ok, version 1.5.0 is out. I replaced uses of Google's Location API with OpenStreetMaps Nominatim, which seems to work OK, although it's a bit less intelligent than Google's. At least it works, though.

I might be missing something.

Where do you put my service key?

I installed the workflow in Alfred, but when I type "wtd", I get "Error: Please choose a service", but I couldn't find any explanaition how to I choose a service.

 

What am I missing?

Run `wto`, select one of the *Key options (e.g., DarkSkyKey), hit enter, paste your key, and hit enter again.

[jason0x43]

Version 1.6.0 is out with support for a couple of new APIs. Since Weather Underground has been gone for a while and DarkSky is on its way out, I added support for ClimaCell and OpenWeather.

Great Weather Workflow!! Thank you and please keep updating it!!

[elnadav12]

For the Dark Sky fans among us (who registered for the API before apple took over), here's a folder with dark sky's weather icons, with names matched for the weather workflow:

https://gofile.io/d/VCsvQa

Click on the workflow, open in finder -> icons and unzip the folder.

Then, select it via the Alfred search bar, WTO keyword, icons option -> dark sky.
