Accuweather exporter uses the following APIs
Accuweather exporter is setup to take run configuration from environment variables or CLI flags, which are listed in the table below.
| Environment variable | Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| AE_LISTEN_ADDRESS | --listen-address | The address to listen on for HTTP requests | :9095 |
| AE_API_KEY | --api-key | The API key for Accuweather API requests | - |
| AE_LOCATION | --location | The location for which you want to retrieve current conditions data (e.g. Turin, IT) |
- |
| AE_LOCATION_KEY | --location-key | The location key of the city for which you want to retrieve current conditions data | 214753 |
The location can be specified in two ways:
-
providing a location key using the
location-keyflag or theAE_LOCATION_KEYenvironment variable -
providing a location string, using the
locationor theAE_LOCATIONenvironment variable
In the latter way the exporter calls the City search API and it retrieves the location key from the first result.
