README
Darkskyx
A Darksky.net weather api client for Elixir
As of March 31, 2020, Darksky has been acquired by Apple and the API will continue to function through the end of 2021.
Installation
The package can be installed as:
Add darkskyx
to your list of dependencies in mix.exs
:
def deps do
[{:darkskyx, "~> 1.0"}]
end
Ensure darkskyx
is started before your application:
def application do
[applications: [:darkskyx]]
end
Usage
You can use darkskyx to perform forecast as well as time machine request. You will need to configure the darksky api key properly.
configuration
The simplest would be to set darksky api key as below:
export DARKSKY_API_KEY=<api_key>
Now, in your config.exs (or environment specific configuration), add the config block to configure Darkskyx. You can pass keyword list of units
, lang
, excludes
and extends
for the defaults
config block which will be used to override the global default configuration. The default configuration is to use units: auto
and lang: en
. On top of the default configuration, you can also override the default configuration per request by passing the %Darkskyx{}
struct configured to your liking.
config :darkskyx, api_key: System.get_env("DARKSKY_API_KEY"),
defaults: [
units: "us",
lang: "en"
]
Examples
Darkskyx.forecast(41.032, -94.234)
Darkskyx.forecast(41.043, -93.23432, %Darkskyx{lang: "ar"})
Darkskyx.forecast(41.032, -94.234, %Darkskyx{exclude: "daily,hourly"})
Darkskyx.time_machine(41.043, -93.23432, 13432423)
Darkskyx.time_machine(41.043, -93.23432, 13432423, %Darkskyx{lang: "ar", units: "si"})
Darkskyx.current(37, -94)
Darkskyx.current(37, -94, %Darkskyx{lang: "ar"})
This package only performs API call and asks consumer of this package to perform things such as handling rate-limiting.
Change on v1.0
All the raw api calls except Darkskyx.current
and Darkskyx.forecast
now return headers for success calls like: {:ok, body, headers}
This gives flexibility for API consumer to handle things such as
rate limiting based on the headers.
