StarWars Weather

This project was inspired by Tom Scott (Link to Youtube page below).

Why was this made?

This website was made to recreate Tom Scott's wonderful website Star Wars weather. Unfortunately this website is now down as Yahoo dropped it's support for Yahoo Pipes and Yahoo Weather API. So a few months back I set out to recreate the orginial. Keep in mind that this website's API can only handle 60 calls per minute and 1 million calls per month so at times it may not function properly. Because of this PLEASE NO BOTS!!

How does it work?

This webpage works the way it does thanks to the wonderful world of API's or application program interface's. The input must be correct for the API to work you can do [city/state],[two letter country code] or [city/state],[country name] or [country name]. The input is sent to the API and returned as a .JSON file the .JSON file's content is compared to the conditions of a star wars planet and vola!

Accessibility

I have tried to make this as accessible as possible if you feel it's needs improving in any way please email me at info.starwarsweather@gmail.com. I have some code in the works that will make the website more accessible.
