Use OpenMeteo API for the longitude and latitude, and use OpenCage API to geocode the location which was passed on and extract the coordinates.
- OpenCage Geocoder API: Used to convert a location (city, country, etc.) into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude).
- OpenMeteo API: Fetches weather data based on the latitude and longitude provided.
1. OpenCage API Call:
- Sends a GET request to the OpenCage API with the
locationquery. - Extracts the
latitudeandlongitudefrom the API response.
2. OpenMeteo API Call:
- Uses the coordinates from OpenCage to send a GET request to OpenMeteo.
- Requests
current_weatherdata for simplicity, but you can customize it for hourly or daily forecasts.
3. Error Handling:
- Includes checks to ensure API responses contain the required data.
- Handles errors gracefully, logging meaningful messages.
- Rate Limits: OpenCage’s free tier limits requests to 2,500 per day, and OpenMeteo has no limits for weather data but recommends caching responses.
