Getting weather via your command line
- jff 14y agoHere's a simpler version that doesn't require PHP or an API key. Only works on Plan 9, though, but you could probably port it. http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/plan9/rc/bin/weather http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/plan9/rc/bin/weather
- koenigdavidmj 14y agoIt's part of plan9port already, for the record.
- jff 14y agoMust be a recent addition, it's not in my (~3 month old) installation of Plan 9 Port.
- nevermore 14y agoI'm not quite sure why it's so complicated. Their telnet actually has a UI state machine built in. On any linux computer: nc rainmaker.wunderground.com 23
- jff 14y agoSure, I've used the telnet version, but it's nice to say "weather ROC" and get weather.
- amwelles 14y agoI ran across a little CLI called "weatherman" [1] that does this, though you need to input your location manually each time. The data comes from WeatherBug.com, but it seems to work well enough for my purposes. 1. http://darkhorse.nu/software/ http://darkhorse.nu/software/
- eli 14y agoA while backed a hacked a little script to update the LCD display on old HP printers with the current weather: https://gist.github.com/832730 https://gist.github.com/832730 I doubt it works any more since I don't think that Google Weather API still exists, but it should work if you switch it to Yahoo or one of the others.

- jlgreco 14y agoTry piping echo into netcat, it makes it a bit simpler. I can post what I use for it a bit later. edit: echo -n "\nPHL\nX" | nc rainmaker.wunderground.com 23 | tail -n +18
- TheGateKeeper 14y agoand for the automated, try this: (echo "open rainmaker.wunderground.com";sleep 1;echo "\r";sleep 1;echo "nyc";sleep 1;echo "x";) | telnet

- doctoboggan 14y agoI wrote a script a little while back that texts the weather to you every morning. It used google's unofficial weather api. https://github.com/doctoboggan/Wake-up-to-the-Weather/blob/master/textWeather.py https://github.com/doctoboggan/Wake-up-to-the-Weather/blob/m...
- onli 14y agoThat api is no more. For izulu, which also used that api, i switched to yahoo.
- donutdan4114 14y agoWell this was a pleasant surprise to find.
- galaktor 14y agoUsing powershell: PS> Get-Weather gives: Location : Secret, Location (ABCD) 12-34N 123-45W 85M Time : Oct 18, 2012 - 02:30 AM EDT / 2012.10.18 0630 UTC Wind : from the SE (140 degrees) at 9 MPH (8 KT):0 Visibility : greater than 7 mile(s):0 SkyConditions : mostly cloudy Temperature : 50 F (10 C) DewPoint : 46 F (8 C) RelativeHumidity : 87% Pressure : 29.18 in.

- worldimperator 14y agoUsing windows: Go to window, open, stick your nose out, and you know the weather. Look up to sky to predict weather for next half day.
