Openweather

OpenWeather

The robomotion openweather CLI connects to OpenWeatherMap API for weather data retrieval. It gets current weather conditions, multi-day forecasts, air quality data, and historical weather for any location by city name or coordinates.

When to use

• Get current weather conditions for any city or coordinates
• Retrieve multi-day weather forecasts
• Check air quality index and pollutant levels
• Access historical weather data

Prerequisites

• robomotion CLI installed
• Package installed: robomotion install openweather
• OpenWeatherMap API key configured via Robomotion vault

IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations

Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.

Workflow

1. Install (once): robomotion install openweather
2. Connect with session:

   robomotion openweather openweather_connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   

3. Use the returned client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:

   robomotion openweather openweather_current --client-id "<client-id>" --city <city> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

4. Disconnect when done:

   robomotion openweather openweather_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
