Conditions

A command line tool for getting the weather conditions at the current location.

Weather Sources

• open-meteo.com
• weatherapi.com *

* requires an api key

Installation

At this time it is necessary to compile and install the crate locally. The simplest way to do this is to install the Rust toolchain.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Then use cargo to build and install from crates.io

cargo install conditions

Usage

By default the Open-Meteo weather provider will be used along with a location determined by the machine's ip address.

> conditions current | jq
{
  "temp": 57,
  "icon": ""
}

Weather API

In order to use the Weather API provider create an account and then an API Key. Then persist the api key in settings.

conditions weather-api-key set [your-api-key]

Location

If you prefer to set a specific location you can do so via a postal code:

conditions location set "[postal-code], [country]"

For example:

conditions location set "10001, usa"

SketchyBar

Here's how I'm using this with SketchyBar.

#!/bin/bash

conditions="$(conditions current)"
icon=$(echo "$conditions" | jq -r .icon)
temp=$(echo "$conditions" | jq -r .temp)

sketchybar -m \
  --set weather_logo icon="${icon}" \
  --set weather label="${temp}°F"

Tasks

Why

I wanted to learn rust and had a (cargo-culted) shell script that performed this task for usage with sketchybar.
