HowTo: Fix bunsenweather.sh, and use it in a Conky

damo · 2016-06-04 18:18:15

BL ships with a Conky weather script: '.config/conky/scripts/bunsenweather.sh', which now requires an API key.

Here is an updated version, and how to get it working.

Get the API key

Get an API KEY by registering for one at http://openweathermap.org/api
Edit this line in the script to include it:
```
api="yourverylongapinumber"
```

Set location

Location names mustn't have spaces, so "London,uk" is OK, but "New York" isn't.
id's can be used instead though, and obtained from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz
Download and extract the json file, then simply search for an id with grep. For example:

grep "New York" city.list.json

Different methods can be used with the script:

Hardcode it in the script
```
place="yourlocation"
```
Several formats can be used (see: http://openweathermap.org/current#one, for usage)
eg. "<city name>", "<city id>", "<zipcode>"

Pass the location as a script parameter:

/path/to/bunsenweather.sh "london,uk"
or
/path/to/bunsenweather.sh 5391997

With no location specified, the script attempts to geolocate from the IP address

Formatting the output

printf "Location:%s\nTemp: %s\nWind %s from %s\n" "$city" "$temperature" "$windspeed" "$winddir"

This line produces the following output:

Location:London
Temp: +16.1°C
Wind 0.7 m/s from 206°

If the script is called from Conky with ${execpi}, then conky formatting can be added to the 'printf' command. For example

printf "%s: %s\n\${voffset 10}Wind: %d m/s, from %.3d°\nTemp:\${color red} %d°c\${color}" "$city" "$condition" "$windspeed" "$winddir" "$temperature" 2>/dev/null

NB Dont forget to escape special characters like "$"

${execpi 300 $HOME/.config/conky/scripts/bunsenweather.sh "charleston,usa"}

This produces output like:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

'jq' is pre-installed and is a

lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor
jq is like sed for JSON data – you can use it to slice
and filter and map and transform structured data with
the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends let you
play with text.

The modified bunsenweather.sh:
This updated version has a connection test, more error trapping, and the ability to pass name or id as script parameters.

Too kind

# based on ideas from weatherbang.sh version 1.0, 2013 by Ryan Fantus

I really should learn how to deal with arrays of values from jq 8o Having "echo | " for each value seems very inelegant and wasteful of resources
See post #5

jq for the win! And thanks for the kudos/credit in your script!

damo · 2016-06-17 20:54:52

Script update

Now you can pass id as well as name, as a script parameter.
More tests and error trapping.
Most of the available weather data values are stored in an array, to avoid multiple calls to 'jq'.
The variables have been formatted already (including the metric/imperial symbols), so to output them just do:
```
printf "%s" "$var"
or
echo "$var"
```

martix · 2018-01-29 08:40:33

Just a short explanation I posted already, but it might be more useful here.

Originally in the shipped bunsenweather script there was no need for an api key, but openweathermap.org changed its service. It was required that users register and get an api key to use with the service. The original - shipped - script needed some tweaking and the tweaked script looked like the one posted in the #2nd post here in the thread (with an api key).

In this version there is a remark: "### TODO: better to try and put the output into a jq array, to reduce the processes hmm ###"

The script at the end of the first post is damo's improved version with arrays and internet connection checking.

This script tries to connect to http://ftp.debian.org/debian/README. If there is a connection, it shows the weather data, otherwise a message: "No internet connection" "Weather information unavailable".

It also checks if there is a required api key. If not, the message is: "No API key" "Weather info unavailable".

To get this script working, make sure to uncomment "remove #" from the beginning of this line (around the end of the script): printf "%s; %s; %s %s" "$city" "$temperature" "$windspeed" "$winddir"

It will use the IP and location data from ipinfo.io to show the weather for your location. As in the OP and the script described, it's also possible to use a location name or id from openweathermap.org.

Any idea how to implement forecast in the script? Openweather does provide forecast data but I am too big of a noob to know what to do with it. I would only need "few hours later" forecast, not a full blown table for entire week.

Thanks

damo · 2018-08-22 19:12:52

You can get the details of the openweather JSON API here

The url is in the form "api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast...", so just change the curl line to use "forecast" instead of "weather".

However.....you now have to deal with 5days of 3hourly forecasts in the json stream, so it is time to read up on using jq! Here is somewhere to start: Parsing JSON with jq

An example of the returned JSON is here: JSON API response

The data has an array of the forecasts, so if you extract eg the 4th index (ie array[3]), that will give the 24hr forecast, which can then be processed as per the last part of the bunsenweather script.

damo · 2018-08-22 21:38:32

The following code gets the 4th index of the 5day forecast JSON array, which I think is maybe for midday on the following day. You can peek at the data to see all the time/date information, if you want to work it out yourself - get and save the whole lot with....

echo $weather5day | jq . > tempfile

Swap out the section in bunsenweather.sh with the following....

        # get json data from openweathermap:

        #weather=$(curl -s http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather\?APPID=$api\&"$location"\&units=$metric)
        weather5day=$(curl -s http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast\?APPID=$api\&"$location"\&units=$metric)
        weather=$(echo "$weather5day" | jq '.list[3]')
        weather_desc=$(echo "$weather" | jq  '.weather[0].description')
        date_time=$(echo "$weather" | jq  '.dt_txt')

        # load values into arrays:
        place=($(echo "$weather5day" | jq  '.city.name,.city.coord.lat,.city.coord.long'))
        all=($(echo "$weather" | jq  '.main.temp,.main.pressure,.main.temp_min,.main.temp_max,.wind.speed,.wind.deg,.clouds.all,.sys.sunrise,.sys.sunset,.main.humidity'))

        #                       ARRAY INDEX  0          1          2                3          4              5              6         7           8         9
        city=${place[0]//'"'/''}
        longitude=${place[2]}
        latitude=${place[1]}
        conditions=${weather_desc//'"'/''}
        temperature="${all[0]} $scaleT"
        pressure="${all[1]} mb"
        temperature_min="${all[2]} $scaleT"
        temperature_max="${all[3]} $scaleT"
        windspeed="${all[4]} $scaleV"
        winddir="${all[5]} °"
        cloud_cover="${all[6]} %"
        sunrise=${all[7]}
        sunset=${all[8]}
        humidity="${all[9]}%"
        #description=${all[10]//'"'/''}
        dt=${date_time//'"'/''}

        #Example format for output:
        printf '%s %s: %s %s\n' "$dt" "$city" "$lat" "$long"
        printf "Windspeed: %s  Wind Direction: %s\n" "$windspeed" "$winddir"
        printf "Temp: %s\nHumidity: %s\n"  "$temperature" "$humidity"
        printf "Weather: %s\n" "$conditions"

You would have to use the original array setup if you go back to using the current weather data. It is probably easier to use another script instead though.

I haven't bothered with fiddling with the printf formatting

While looking for a conky weather script I came across this post.
I've modified it for my own uses and thought it may help someone else as you helped me, mine uses FontAwesome to display a few icons including the Open Weather Map current icon.
The use of wget to do the connection test can be rather slow so I replaced that as well.

load info conky as follows:

Old thread I know - please don't burn a noob for that

I am runing @malm 's labwc (wayland) and hacked bunsenweather.sh in conky (using 'out_to_wayland = true' - but should work anyway if using 'out_to_x = true') to use owfont.ttf installed (sorry noob - cant post link but in the code below there is a link to it).

It's basically as seen on github but with a case condition printf'ing the unicode of each character in the font for each weather code extracted from the json curl'd data for conditions at the time. OpenWeather caveats apply as per usual in the script (city code or ip lookup and api key required) .

So here it is::

Top @micko01 . Great looking pic also.

I guess it s better than a duplicated thread to me.

unklar · 2024-04-08 11:35:14

@micko01

Brilliant!
Conky hacking is always welcome here
Thanks for sharing.

I don't think much of OPWM because they are always wrong for my location, as you can see.

Yes, after running opwm a few days I tend to agree.

In sfwbar LBCrion uses MET Weather API which I ran for a while. Might try that one as there is no need to register, just need location (lat,lon).

I have not yet tested sfwbar. It seemed 'too complicated' to me at first glance.

Thanks for the link.
