OpenWeather Current Data Reader
[ | version 3.0]
Connector
The connector is permitted for use of the platform background agent.
Connector processing type: Row by row!
The open weather current data reader connector enables the reading of current weather forecasts from the popular weather server openweathermap.org. Our platform connector simplifies access to the world weather data by providing an easy configuration option where you just need to provide the location data represented by Longitude and Latitude coordinates as input and set the configuration by providing an access token and defining temperature units and the language. Based on applied settings, the connector reads the weather data easily instead of the complicated API settings.
Data returned by the connector will give you complex information about the current weather in the specified location including weather description, main weather information (temperature, real feel, pressure, humidity), visibility, wind information, and precipitation information. For a detailed overview of the returned data, see the output schemas here.
Input data format
The geo-location input data must be provided in the format of decimal latitude and longitude coordinates (not sexagesimal degrees and degrees and decimal minutes).
Sample of the output data:
Configuration
OpenWeather connection configuration
API token
Provide API token from the openweathermap.org user registration. Register yourself on the open weather map portal. See the billing plans on the portal to understand the potential connected costs. The free plan includes up to 60 calls per minute and 1000 calls per day.
Units
Select the temperature measuring unit to display temperature values in the output.
Allowed types:
- Temperature in Kelvin
- Temperature in Fahrenheit
- Temperature in Celsius
Language
Select the language for culture-based output data.
Timeout
The number of seconds to wait before terminating the request. The default value is set to 100 seconds.
