WeatherTeller

Inspiration

This global hack week event by mlh on API's inspired me to create a project using an API

What it does

It fetches your IP address and tells the exact weather at your location , Also Disclosing Your Location with exact Humidity and Temp. It provides much more than that in the console including AQI of your region and the speed of the wind with direction passing through your city.

How we built it

We Built it Using React JS Library integrated with VITE, and a free weather API known as weatherapi.com

Challenges we ran into

The API I used was working on thunder Client (extension of VS code) and on the API's backend but it was giving an error with status code 0, due to some proxy server issue.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I managed to fix the proxy server issue in time by creating my new own proxy server using a library called https and adding it in the file vite.config.js. I am proud that I joined this challenge

What we learned

I learned Many things About API and Proxy Server also got to know about the error status codes of web servers. It was an overall development as a student and as a programming enthusiast

What's next for WeatherTeller

The API worked and I am now focusing on the frontend to make the website look appealing.
