Introduction

See OpenWeatherMap's API documentation for optional parameters, which can be passed to all functions fetching weather data via the ... parameter in R

Setup

library(owmr)

# first of all you have to set up your api key
owmr_settings("your_api_key")

# or store it in an environment variable called OWM_API_KEY (recommended)
Sys.setenv(OWM_API_KEY = "your_api_key") # if not set globally

Usage

# get current weather data by city name
(res <- get_current("London", units = "metric") %>%
  owmr_as_tibble()) %>% names()
