My {darksky<\/a>} package has been around for years, now, and the service that powers it was purchased by Apple before the pandemic. The DarkSky API is slated to be shuttered in December of this year and is being replaced by Apple\u2019s WeatherKit<\/a> xOS Framework and REST API.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve started work on a {weatherkit<\/a>} package which uses the WeatherKit REST API. You\u2019ll need an Apple Developer account and will also need to setup some items in said account, and locally<\/a> so you can authenticate to the API. Once all the authentication bits are setup, it\u2019s pretty easy to get the weather data:<\/p>\n

The wx_tidy()<\/code> function, for now, only does date-time string conversion to POSIXct<\/code> objects, but it may do more in the future.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t appear that historical weather data is available, yet, so you\u2019re limited to using the API to get daily and hourly conditions and forecasts for the present plus some days. As such, I\u2019ve focused a bit on some helper functions to show current conditions and forecasts in the R console\/stdout:<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll likely add a daily forecast console printer soon.<\/p>\n
There are a few helper functions in the package for value conversion between unit systems, iconifying some values, and working with time zones. {weatherkit} uses lutz::tz_lookup_coords()<\/code> in places to auto-determine the time zone from lat\/lng pairs, and also includes a function to intuit lat\/lng from an IP address using ipapi<\/a> (they have a generous free tier).<\/p>\n
As of the timestamp on this blog post, Apple\u2019s WeatherKit provides up to 500,000 API calls a month per Apple Developer Program membership. If you need additional API calls, monthly subscription plans will be available for purchase sometime after the beta is officially over. This is the expected pricing:<\/p>\n
