🖥️How to use

How do you use it?

Using this library is very simple! Just use the ManagedWeatherMap namespace in any piece of code you want to use the library, as in: using ManagedWeatherMap;

Just use the Forecast class that contains:

  • GetWeatherInfo(long, string, UnitMeasurement)

  • GetWeatherInfo(string, string, UnitMeasurement)

  • ListAllCities()

The first three functions download the weather information for either the specified city ID or city name and return the relevant weather information, ForecastInfo, that contains these properties:

  • long CityID

  • string CityName

  • WeatherCondition Weather

  • UnitMeasurement TemperatureMeasurement (see weather conditions)

  • double Temperature

  • double FeelsLike

  • double Pressure

  • double Humidity

  • double WindSpeed

  • double WindDirection

where the UnitMeasurement is:

  • Kelvin

    • Measurement for Temperature and FeelsLike is K (Kelvin)

    • Measurement for WindSpeed is m.s (Meters per second)

    • Measurement for Pressure is hPa (Hectopascal)

  • Metric

    • Measurement for Temperature and FeelsLike is C (Celsius)

    • Measurement for WindSpeed is m.s (Meters per second)

    • Measurement for Pressure is hPa (Hectopascal)

  • Imperial

    • Measurement for Temperature and FeelsLike is F (Fahrenheit)

    • Measurement for WindSpeed is mph (Miles per hour)

    • Measurement for Pressure is hPa (Hectopascal)

You're required to provide the API key for each weather operation, which you can get by visiting this page.

Asynchronous Operation

For web development and other cases where asynchronous development is appropriate, you can use the below functions which are declared to be asynchronous:

public static async Task<ForecastInfo> GetWeatherInfoAsync(long CityID, string APIKey, UnitMeasurement Unit = UnitMeasurement.Metric)
public static async Task<ForecastInfo> GetWeatherInfoAsync(string CityName, string APIKey, UnitMeasurement Unit = UnitMeasurement.Metric)
public static async Task<Dictionary<long, string>> ListAllCitiesAsync()
