Weather from API and build rules around it

There’s also the original thread about it here which has lots of tips and comments from other people who have used the API:

:link: Rules and Expressions with Open Weather API - #8 by JKB121

Most of the examples in that thread are using the OneCall 3.0 API which is documented here:

https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-3

As noted in the document, you would need to sign-up for an OpenWeather account and wait a few hours for your API Key to become active, then use the URL format @JKB121 showed in his screenshots within an HTTP Action in your rule:

https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?lat={lat}&lon={lon}&appid={API key}

I would also note that you might find it easier to Download the large screenshots by tapping the link below the image after opening the image preview:

Edit: Oh, and there’s also a neat thread about using Chat GPT along with the aforementioned weather API to get some neat AI generated summaries: Open Weather API (and Chat GPT)
