get-accuweather v1.0.4

appreciate me with giving a star to me ☻. (it's at the top-right of this page)

truth be told, actually this was an employment test project I coded for a company called "sperloos" but it worth to be on my github since it may help someone else

this simple little cli tool helps you to get climate properties of a month(s)/day(s) in your desired file sourced on accuweather.com

install

installing with npm:

npm i -g get-accuweather

any advice for a common error?

yes, 1- you may encounter with Failed to set up Chromium <some-chromium-version> , that's just because of your connection, try to change your IP & DNS and it will be ok :) 2- in input file be careful about BOM char and final char and \r\n or \n in other words last char must not be a new line of a BOM or ... 3- this problem is in ToDo but be careful, if you want to use this on a linux os line breaks may cause problems...

usage

for instance assume you want to retrieve the property of a day in a file called output.txt:

# powershell script:
New-Item output.txt
New-Item input.txt
$source = "https://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/london/ec4a-2/daily-weather-forecast/328328?day=1"
Set-Content .\input.txt $source
get-accuweather set input.json
get-accuweather get days json .\output.txt

important Notice 1: the contents of the input file must only includes days links or months links, in other words it you shouldn't mix days and months links with each other in a file

important Notice 2: use a full screen or maximized shell, otherwise you maybe encounter UI bugs

important Notice 3: accuweather.com has no data for passed days, so use this tool for coming days and months
