Forecastr is an open source Weather API wrapper for OpenWeatherMap.
Forecastr is an Elixir flavour of http://wttr.in that talks directly to OpenWeatherMap. Aim of the project is to provide a website similar to wttr.in written entirely in elixir
NOTE: If you want to play with this project you have to obtain an api key from http://openweathermap.org/
Project status: initial. (very pre-alphaish)
Sample output with the ASCII renderer:
iex(1)> Forecastr.forecast(:in_five_days, "Lima")
Weather report: Lima, PE
lat: -12.0622, lon: -77.0366
