Weather Site

Project codes are available at Github

The weather site is a simple API project which allows users to check the weather conditions of different cities. It makes an API call to OpenWeather (https://openweathermap.org) using a HTTP GET request and OpenWeather returns the weather information of the requested city in JSON format. The JSON information is then converted to a user-defined object for display.

Some features of this web app are:

Storing of information in Redis database using a UUID
Retrieval of data using UUID
Listing for all cities stored in Redis
Link to specific city's weather info through UUID

It was a fun introductory project to JSON and APIs. Lots of tinkering made on the front-end and backend. It also made me realise about the potential of APIs and what users can do with these information on their end.
