This 'page' (http://wiki.wunderground.com/index.php/API_-_XML) is quite useful - it documents the Wundeground API to a limited extent. The first URL (GeoLookupXML) can be used to find suitable stations, so for Bristol (UK) try: http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/WXCurrentObXML/index.xml?query=Bristol,%20United%20Kingdom This returns all the data about that station. If you entered only Bristol it would retun all matching locations, so find yours. Then to see if "Bristol, United Kingdom" will work with WeatherTime, try the 'current' (http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/WXCurrentObXML/index.xml?query=Bristol,%20United%20Kingdom) and 'forecast queries' (http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/ForecastXML/index.xml?query=Bristol,%20United%20Kingdom) - if they're populated with the correct data, it should work work you enter "Bristol, United Kingdom" as the "Wunderground.com Citycode". The "City" field can be whatever you like, it's not important. Alternatively you can enter the latitude/longtitude (it's in the "Current" XML or on the Wundeground web page) as the "Wunderground.com Citycode", eg. "51.38249969,-2.71888900" and Wunderground will determine the nearest weather station based on the coordinates. Finally, to get the latitude/longtitude for any location using Google maps, enter the address you are interested in into Google Maps (it should then be shown as the center of the map) and then paste the following into the browser address bar: Code: -------------------- javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter())); -------------------- Remove the parenthesis and space, and use the latitude/longtitude as the "Wunderground.com Citycode" - leave Wundeground to find your neareast weather station for you! :) -- Milhouse ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Milhouse's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=928 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21989 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
