Weather APIs For Android

Question

I would like to know of some API which i could use to retrieve weather information in Android. I came across samples which make use of the Google Weather API and it works fine.But since the Google Weather API is not official and open for public yet , there is the risk of it being discontinued anytime.

Also some blogs say that the data returned by the Google Weather API is not accurate and caution using it.

Hence i am looking for some API which i can use in Android.If anyone is already using some API kindly let me know.

Solution 1

I made a wrapper for Yahoo Weather API on android. Check it here: https://github.com/zh-wang/YWeatherGetter4a

Solution 2

yes u can use yahoo weather api

http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/ check this one it provides api for having weather inforamation for any city

http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2502265 as below link will give u weather information for Sunnyvale which have WOEID=2502265 which is defined at above link after w..

and for different woied id for different city u can use this api http://where.yahooapis.com/geocode?q=ahmedabad=[yourappidhere]

put ur city name after "q" at this link

i hope this will solve ur issue

this is not for commercial use

It is free for personal use. Not if you are a company.

Hola. I used that library in my app. Unfortunately when I want to retrieve my current location city name it just shows country location: Iran. I even used exact latitude and longitude, again just country name. How can I increase the precision?

Continuing with the shameless plugs, we just released an update to the Aeris Android Weather SDK with additional endpoints, etc.. :-)

I've used your wrapper, and it was working great (thanx btw!), but stopped all of the sudden... I was using the weather from gps... Just gives me an error that the location can't be found. Even your sample app doesn't seem to work anymore.

Does not work, because API not more available as public.

Yahoo's reverse geocoding is not free now, but weather api still works. I have changed reverse geocoding from Yahoo's api to android's geocoder.

This link is now broken, as the company sold to someone else
