This fixes the weather API for Ageo Rainmeter skin. (https://www.deviantart.com/hiphopium/art/Ageo-788359446)
First of all, we will need an API key from WeatherApi.com. Go to https://www.weatherapi.com/ and register for free.
On the dashboard you will see:
API Key: <characters and number>
for example:
API Key: 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde
Note the api key, we will use it in a bit.
With Ageo loaded, right click on the Time and Date skin and click Edit Skin. A Notepad will open with the file C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Ageo\Time and Date\Time and Date.ini
Choose one of the files attached here, Celcius or Farenheit.
Copy the text in the the file you selected here and completely replace the contents of the Notepad file.
Look for the [MeasureCurrent]
section in Notepad and look at the Url
setting.
[MeasureCurrent]
...
Url=http://api.weatherapi.com/v1/current.xml?key=YOUR API KEY&q=YOUR LOCATION
...
Replace YOUR API KEY
with the weather.com API Key and YOUR LOCATION
with a US Zipcode, UK Postcode, Canada Postalcode, IP address, Latitude/Longitude (decimal degree) or city name.
for example:
Manila, Philippines
Url=http://api.weatherapi.com/v1/current.xml?key=0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde&q=Manila
Beverly Hills
Url=http://api.weatherapi.com/v1/current.xml?key=0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde&q=90210
Look at https://www.weatherapi.com/docs/#intro-request under Request Parameters q parameter for more info.
Save the file. Right-click the Time and Date skin and click Refresh skin
Enjoy!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this fix! Thank you to AliAkinK above who mentioned that we have to replace the entire code rather than just input our keys and locations. I just wanted to add that, just in case anyone else is as confused as I was, there is no Celsius or Fahrenheit attachment in the Ageo folder itself. In the Time and Day.ini document that opens in Notepad when you select Edit Skin, you have to replace that ENTIRE code with either the Celsius or Fahrenheit codes attached in the post, then enter your key and location as explained. Thank you again for this fix, thanks Ali!!
