Conky Tomorrow Setup

Question

I've had Conky Tomorrow since January, and the temperatures were shown properly. But as you know Yahoo's Weather API isn't free longer (the forecast wasn't show any more), so I got a (free) key in http://openweathermap.org/. I have all the weather forecast in my city, but the problem is that I'm unable to change the commands to adapt the old Conky script to a new one which shows the forecast.

As I can see, the comands I have to change are:

 ${execi 300 curl -s "CODE OF THE FORECAST IN MY CITY" -o ~/.cache/weather.xml}
 ${font Raleway:size=20}${voffset -40}
 ${goto 16}${execi 300 grep "yweather:condition" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o "temp=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*"}°${font Raleway:weight=Light:size=14}${goto 114}${execi 300 grep "yweather:forecast" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o "high=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*" | awk 'NR==2'}°${goto 224}${execi 300 grep "yweather:forecast" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o "high=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*" | awk 'NR==3'}°${goto 334}${execi 300 grep "yweather:forecast" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o "high=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*" | awk 'NR==4'}°${goto 444}${execi 300 grep "yweather:forecast" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o "high=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*" | awk 'NR==5'}°

  ${font Raleway:weight=Light:size=10}${goto 150}${execi 300 grep "yweather:forecast" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o "low=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*" | awk 'NR==2'}°${goto 260}${execi 300 grep "yweather:forecast" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o "low=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*" | awk 'NR==3'}°${goto 370}${execi 300 grep "yweather:forecast" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o "low=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*" | awk 'NR==4'}°${goto 480}${execi 300 grep "yweather:forecast" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o "low=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*" | awk 'NR==5'}°

And the information (in xml, but it also can be show in json) that I got is

 <forecast>
 <time from="2016-04-16T12:00:00" to="2016-04-16T15:00:00">
 <symbol number="500" name="light rain" var="10d"/>
 <precipitation unit="3h" value="0.11" type="rain"/>
 <windDirection deg="245.51" code="WSW" name="West-southwest"/>
 <windSpeed mps="7.71" name="Moderate breeze"/>
 <temperature unit="celsius" value="16.44" min="16.44" max="16.44"/>
 <pressure unit="hPa" value="990.11"/>
 <humidity value="83" unit="%"/>
 <clouds value="scattered clouds" all="44" unit="%"/>
 </time>
 <time from="2016-04-16T15:00:00" to="2016-04-16T18:00:00">
 <symbol number="802" name="scattered clouds" var="03d"/>
 <precipitation/>
 <windDirection deg="248.5" code="WSW" name="West-southwest"/>
 <windSpeed mps="6.46" name="Moderate breeze"/>
 <temperature unit="celsius" value="14.31" min="14.3" max="14.31"/>
 <pressure unit="hPa" value="990.94"/>
 <humidity value="78" unit="%"/>
 <clouds value="scattered clouds" all="32" unit="%"/>
 </time>

So, anybody knows how to change the Conky comands?

It would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

From oct 2015 you must use a url curl command like :

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?q=YOURCITY&APPID={APIKEY}&mode=xml&units=metric&cnt=5&lang=xx

Where:

• xx is your language: en, es, etcetera.
• The ApiKey can be obteined signing up.
• The YOURCITY variable is the name of your city. It's better to use your CityID.

More info about API at : OpenWeather

Finally, you must change all the variables names obteined with curl to read all the weather conditions.

List of all variables can see at API Openweather XML output

You can see an example at: Conky Gnow. Click on Download link, unzip the file and take a look into .conkyrc file.

I finally got Conky Harmattan. Its author has adapted to OpenWeatherMap. It works perfectly.
