OpenWeatherMap-PHP-Api

A php api to parse weather data from OpenWeatherMap.org. This api tries to normalise and abstract the data and remove inconsistencies.

For example code and how to use this api, please take a look into Examples_*.php files and run them in your browser.

• Examples_Current.php Shows how to receive the current weather.
• Examples_Forecast.php Shows how to receive weather forecasts.
• [NEW] Examples_History.php Shows how to receive weather history.
• Examples_Cache.php Shows how to implement a cache.

Notice: This api is not made by OpenWeatherMap, nor their official php api.

Contribute!

I'm very happy if you open pull requests or issues to help making this API more awesome.
