🚀🌦 Yahoo weather API proxy ready to deploy on Δ Now

Since Jan 3, 2019 the use of Yahoo weather API through YQL has been dismissed and therefore you cannot have an app that directly calls an open API for getting weather data.

Now you need to directly retrive the data from your back end using secret API keys you can receive here.

On this repository you will find a ready-to-deploy Δ Now server that can replace your back end in proxying your app's API calls.

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/crcarlo/yahoo-weather-api-proxy
cd yahoo-weather-api-proxy

Add your Yahoo API credentials by typing

now secret add yahoo-app-id <your-api-key>
now secret add yahoo-consumer-key <your-consumer-key>
now secret add yahoo-consumer-secret <your-consumer-secret>

Change the access control policy in the now.json file allowing your app's domain for avoiding use from other origins.

{
  ...
  "routes": [
    {
      "headers": {
        "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "http://localhost:3000", // change to yourdomain.com
        ...
      }
    }
  ]
}

And deploy

now

Now you can access Yahoo weather API through your now.sh instance like so

https://your-instance.now.sh/forecastrss?latitude=45.6481607&longitude=12.340719&format=json

You can find the API documentation here.
