wttr.in/New+Yorkorwttr.in/New%20York - Airport codes work:
wttr.in/JFK,wttr.in/SVO - Force metric:
?m(Celsius, km/h) - Force imperial:
?u(Fahrenheit, mph) - Today only:
?1 - Current only:
?0 - No colors:
?T(better for parsing)
Integration with E-Ink
Perfect for heartbeat or status display:
import subprocess
def get_weather(city="Moscow"):
result = subprocess.run(
f'curl -s "wttr.in/{city}?format=%c+%t"',
shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True
)
return result.stdout.strip()
# Use in heartbeat:
weather = get_weather()
show_face("happy", f"SAY:{weather}")
Example Responses
# Quick
curl -s "wttr.in/Moscow?format=3"

# Detailed

Fallback: Open-Meteo API
If wttr.in is down, use Open-Meteo (JSON, no key):
# Get coordinates first (Moscow: 55.75, 37.62)
curl -s "https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=55.75&longitude=37.62¤t_weather=true"
Returns JSON with temperature, windspeed, weathercode.
