OpenWeatherMap PHP API

A php API to retrieve and parse global weather data from OpenWeatherMap.org. This library aims to normalise the provided data and remove some inconsistencies. This library is neither maintained by OpenWeatherMap nor their official PHP API.

Installation

This library can be found on Packagist. The recommended way to install and use this is through Composer.

composer require "cmfcmf/openweathermap-php-api"

Example call

<?php
use Cmfcmf\OpenWeatherMap;
use Cmfcmf\OpenWeatherMap\Exception as OWMException;

// Must point to composer's autoload file.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

// Language of data (try your own language here!):
$lang = 'de';

// Units (can be 'metric' or 'imperial' [default]):
$units = 'metric';

// Create OpenWeatherMap object. 
// Don't use caching (take a look into Examples/Cache.php to see how it works).
$owm = new OpenWeatherMap('YOUR-API-KEY');

try {
    $weather = $owm->getWeather('Berlin', $units, $lang);
} catch(OWMException $e) {
    echo 'OpenWeatherMap exception: ' . $e->getMessage() . ' (Code ' . $e->getCode() . ').';
} catch(\Exception $e) {
    echo 'General exception: ' . $e->getMessage() . ' (Code ' . $e->getCode() . ').';
}

echo $weather->temperature;
