OpenWeatherMap-PHP-Api-Service (EXT:openweathermap_php_api_service)

This extension provides a wrapper for the library OpenWeatherMap-PHP-Api (GitHub).

It allows developers to use the library in their TYPO3 extension without much hassle.

The library uses the TYPO3 caching framework and TYPO3’s own methods to fetch URLs.

Requirements

This extension does not have any major requirements

PHP 5.3-5.6
TYPO3 CMS 6.2 up to 7LTS (7.6)
TYPO3 should obviously be able to access the internet

Installation

Just install the extension from the TER or manually.

Configuration

Some basic configuration needs to be done:

You need an AppID / API Key from openweathermap.org. Enter this AppID in the extension configuration inside the extension manager.
Optionally change the cache lifetime in the extension configuration.

Usage

Get an instance of the service and the actual API class:

    /** @var \RauchF\OpenweathermapPhpApiService\Service\OpenweathermapPhpApiService $owmService */
    $owmService = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstanceService('openweathermap_php_api');
    $owmApi = $owmService->getOpenweathermapPhpApi();

Now you can use any API method:

    $weatherData = $owmApi->getRawWeatherData(
        $query,
        'metric',
        'en',
        $owmService->getApiKey(),
        'json'
    );
