How do I get geolocation in openweather API
How do I get mu openweather API to work with geolocation? This is my current html code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/codecademy-content/courses/ltp/css/bootstrap.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='app.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="jumbotron">
<button onclick="getLocation()">Get my location.</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var x = document.getElementById("demo");
function getLocation() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
} else {
x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
}
}
function showPosition(position) {
x.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude +
"<br>Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude;
}
</script>
<p>The weather outside is: </p>
<div class= "weather">
Oops.. there is no temperature available for your location right now.
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And my JavaScript code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$.getJSON( "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Eindhoven&appid=9334f947893792dcb9b2e2c05ae23eb0", function( data ) {
$('.weather').html(Math.round(data.main.temp-273)+ ' degrees Celcius');
});
});
I got the weather in Eindhoven city working, but I want to be able to adjust it to the latitude and longitude. Can someone fix my code for me? And help me?
I know it has something to do with this link: api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat={lat}&lon={lon} but I don't know how to implement my own fount latitude and longitude in it...
Answer
You can get data about the location with use third-party API, for example: http://ip-api.com/
var getIP = 'http://ip-api.com/json/';
$.getJSON(getIP).done(function(location) {
console.log(location)
})
Next get WeatherData from OpenWeatherMap service using the ip-api that we got above
var getIP = 'http://ip-api.com/json/';
var openWeatherMap = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather'
$.getJSON(getIP).done(function(location) {
$.getJSON(openWeatherMap, {
lat: location.lat,
lon: location.lon,
units: 'metric',
APPID: 'APIKEY'
}).done(function(weather) {
console.log(weather)
})
})
In this case, the celsius temperature (metric)
Or using HTML5 Geolocation API (in Google Chrome work only with HTTPS or on localhost)
var openWeatherMap = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather'
if (window.navigator && window.navigator.geolocation) {
window.navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
$.getJSON(openWeatherMap, {
lat: position.coords.latitude,
lon: position.coords.longitude,
units: 'metric',
APPID: 'APIKEY'
}).done(function(weather) {
console.log(weather)
})
})
}
