API

In this project you will become familiar with the concept of an API, Application

Programming Interface, which is basically code that controls an access point to the Web

Server. This way you can access information that is being stored in the Web.

In our case, we will access weather data stored by openweathermap.org. Here you will be able

to obtain current weather info, 5 days/3hour forecasts, weather maps, UV index and weather

alerts. For this project we will focus on 5 days/3hour forecasts and weather maps.
