weather

You can get weather forecast data without an API key by using curl to query public services like wttr.in for plain text outputs or Open-Meteo for JSON data. This approach allows quick weather lookups for daily planning and travel briefs.

Yes, you can use curl to fetch weather data in JSON format. While wttr.in serves as the primary source for readable plain text weather, Open-Meteo is available as a fallback option specifically offering JSON data for programmatic usage and automation scripts.

You do not need to install any dependencies to check the weather beyond having curl available in your environment. The Skill relies entirely on standard curl commands to query public, no-key services like wttr.in and Open-Meteo.

The best way to get current weather for automation scripts is querying Open-Meteo via curl. It provides structured JSON data without requiring an API key, making it ideal for scripting reminders or building prompts that require programmatic weather context.

The weather request falls back to Open-Meteo when structured, programmatic JSON data is needed instead of plain text. wttr.in remains the primary service for quick, readable current weather lookups, while Open-Meteo supports more automated data-fetching workflows.

Fetching weather data without an API key limits you to the capabilities of public services like wttr.in and Open-Meteo. You rely on their standard plain text or JSON outputs for current weather and forecasts, which may restrict advanced querying or high-volume automated data-fetching.
