NAME

WWW::Wunderground::API - Use Weather Underground's XML or JSON interface

VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

Connects to the Weather Underground XML weather conditions URL and parses the data into something usable. The entire response is available in Hash::AsObject form, so any data that comes from the server is accessible. Print a Data::Dumper of ->data to see all of the tasty data bits.

use WWW::Wunderground::API;

#location
my $wun = new WWW::Wunderground::API('Fairfax, VA');

#or zipcode
my $wun = new WWW::Wunderground::API('22030');

#or airport identifier
my $wun = new WWW::Wunderground::API('KIAD');

#using the json API.
my $wun = new WWW::Wunderground::API(location=>'KIAD', api_key=>'your wunderground API key');

print 'The temperature is: '.$wun->data->temp_f."\n";
print 'The rest of the world calls that: '.$wun->temp_c."\n"; #Keys are AUTOLOADed to $wun->data->$key for lazy typers.
print 'XML source:'.$wun->xml if $wun->api_type eq 'xml';
print 'JSON source:'.$wun->json if $wun->api_type eq 'json';

update()

Refetch data from the server. This is called automatically every time location is set, but you may want to put it in a timer.

location()

Change the location. For example:

my $wun = new WWW::Wunderground::API('22030');
my $ffx_temp = $wun->data->temp_f;

$wun->location('KJFK');
my $ny_temp = $wun->data->temp_f;

$wun->location('San Diego, CA');
my $socal_temp = $wun->data->temp_f;

xml()

Returns raw xml result from wunderground server where applicable

json()

Returns raw json result from wunderground server where applicable

data()

Contains xml result from server parsed into convenient Hash::AsObject form;

api_key()

Required for JSON api access.

api_type()

Defaults to xml. If an api_key is specified, this will be set to json.
