I'm wondering if I can call in one request using openweathermap api to get data about (today & all weekdays) at once! I tried this >>

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=london&units=metric&APPID=value

and it gives data for only today

then I tried forecast

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/?q=london%2&cnt=7&units=metric&APPID=value

and also this gives me data about some weekdays.

is there any way to get all (today & weekdays ) in one request ?

Answer

The api docs at http://openweathermap.org show that there's a "forecast16" api, documented at http://openweathermap.org/forecast16.

The docs say that you can call

api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?q={city name},{country code}&cnt={cnt}

and that {cnt} is number of day's worth of data that you are requesting (from 1 to 16)

So, in your case,

should give you 7 day's data.
