I'm getting this error more often than not today. Any idea what can be wrong? Something this works, other times it doesn't. This error didn't happen before.

Exception in OpenWeatherMap.php line 165:
Error: Not found city
in OpenWeatherMap.php line 165
at OpenWeatherMap->getWeather(array('lat' => '51.2194475', 'lon' => '4.4024643'), 'metric', 'en', 'myapikeyishere') in Inspection.php line 35

Hi Guys,

Im getting an error, when I try to get the current weather.
Im using the version: cmfcmf/openweathermap-php-api v2.1.1

OpenWeatherMap exception: Unknown fatal error: OpenWeatherMap returned the following json object: (Code 0).

My Code:

try {
   //debug code.
    $owm = new OpenWeatherMap('XXXXXXXX');
    $weather = $owm->getWeather('Berlin', 'metric', 'en');
    dd($weather);

   //real code
    $query = [
        'lat' => $organization->lat,
        'lon' => $organization->lng,
    ];

    //$weather = $owm->getWeather($query, $units, $lang);
    //dd($weather);

} catch(OWMException $e) {
    dd('OpenWeatherMap exception: ' . $e->getMessage() . ' (Code ' . $e->getCode() . ').');
} catch(\Exception $e) {
    dd('General exception: ' . $e->getMessage() . ' (Code ' . $e->getCode() . ').');
}

I also tried getting the info by url, and it worked fine:
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Berlin&units=metric&lang=en&mode=xml&APPID=XXXXXX

Im debugging the code and it seems there is an error here:

    public function getWeather($query, $units = 'imperial', $lang = 'en', $appid = '')
    {
        $answer = $this->getRawWeatherData($query, $units, $lang, $appid, 'xml');
        $xml = $this->parseXML($answer);
        //dd($answer, $xml); //The response here is fine!

        return new CurrentWeather($xml, $units); //here it seems to be the problem.
    }

PS:
The query by lat/long works ?

    $query = [
        'lat' => $organization->lat,
        'lon' => $organization->lng,
    ];
     //$weather = $owm->getWeather($query, $units, $lang);

Thanks.

When you query information about an non-existing city throws an error:
Start tag expected, '<' not found

This is because openweathermap ignores the xml parameter and outputs an error in json format:
{"message":"Error: Not found city","cod":"404"}

Is there any specific reason you process XML instead of JSON?

In other there is ->setApiKey that doesn't exist also https://github.com/cmfcmf/OpenWeatherMap-PHP-Api/blob/master/Examples/CurrentWeather.php#L41

hello,
I remark that the current values you get from the getweather() request are not the current ones but the ones at 06:00.

For example I made a test at 11:53 on a little French town.

$rawWeather = $owm->getRawWeatherData(['lat' => '44.178299', 'lon' => ''3.4298'], 'metric', $language, $OpenWeatherApiKey, 'json');

result from is : (notice temperature of 6.6)

But from openWeatherMap website, the current temperature was:

and if I made a request directly:

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Meyrueis,fr
returned values are:
{"coord":{"lon":3.43,"lat":44.18},"sys":{"message":0.0486,"country":"France","sunrise":1425881328,"sunset":1425923081},"weather":[{"id":800,"main":"Clear","description":"Sky is Clear","icon":"01d"}],"base":"cmc stations","main":{"temp":286.787,"temp_min":286.787,"temp_max":286.787,"pressure":930.1,"sea_level":1038.49,"grnd_level":930.1,"humidity":40},"wind":{"speed":1.06,"deg":355.001},"clouds":{"all":0},"dt":1425898863,"id":6449384,"name":"Meyrueis","cod":200}

We see here that temp=286.787 - 273.15 = 13.6°C

So it seems there is something wrong in you api.

Hope this help.
regards,

In Europe, we tend to say "20 km/hour" when talking about wind speed, not meters/second. It might be a valuable addition to get the speed in km's?

Hi,

I have currently this error :

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Cmfcmf\OpenWeatherMap\Exception' with message 'Unknown fatal error: OpenWeatherMap returned the following json object: ' in C:\wwwroot\html\meteo\vendor\cmfcmf\openweathermap-php-api\Cmfcmf\OpenWeatherMap.php:243 Stack trace: #0 C:\wwwroot\html\meteo\weather.php(23): Cmfcmf\OpenWeatherMap->getWeatherForecast('Marseille', 'metric', 'fr', '3912cfdc0ea36bd...', 16) #1 C:\wwwroot\html\meteo\index.php(10): include('C:\\wwwroot\\html...') #2 {main} thrown in C:\wwwroot\html\meteo\vendor\cmfcmf\openweathermap-php-api\Cmfcmf\OpenWeatherMap.php on line 243

How can i solve it ?

Thanks

http://openweathermap.org/api_uv

I got this code

foreach ($forecast as $weather) {
    // Each $weather contains a Cmfcmf\ForecastWeather object which is almost the same as the Cmfcmf\Weather object.
    // Take a look into 'Examples_Current.php' to see the available options.
    echo "Weather forecast at " . $weather->time->day->format('d F Y');
    echo "<br />\n";
    echo $weather->temperature;
    echo $weather->icon;
    echo "<br />\n";
    echo "<br />\n";
}

In my mind $weather->icon; should work?

On some cities when try to get data on 16 day returned 10 days of forecast and after this 6-2 weather data of past days. When go by foreach on data graph is broken. This is bug of API, but can you order data by timestamp when parsing it?

Is there any easy fix to this?

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch() on string in /Users/kyle/Sites/koma/vendor/cmfcmf/openweathermap-php-api/Cmfcmf/OpenWeatherMap.php on line 551

I get an error when setting the max and min temperature together with the temperature gives me the same value.
$miclima = array(
'temp' => $weather->temperature->now,
'tmin' => $weather->temperature->min,
'tmax' => $weather->temperature->max,
'hum' => $weather->humidity,
'vel' => $weather->wind->speed,
'dir' => $weather->wind->direction
);

I just wanted to tell you that I added forecast functionality today!

However I know it is not that well documented yet.

I have copied your CurrentWeather example directly to my web-server so i could see how the api works. In the beginning you set the parameter to de which should be German but at example 7 the output for wind direction and wind speed description are in English.

hello,
I tried to call $weather = $owm->getWeather('Mende, Fr', 'metric', $lang); with $lang = 'fr', 'de', same, i always get the result in English.
Certainly a problem of parameter passed in the url because if I directly access to openWeather, I get translated results.

Current code uses 'value' xml option field for getting wind direction whereas the xml contains the field 'deg' (which is in fact different from the current weather response...)

Fix is simply to change 'value' to 'deg' in OpenWeatherMap/Forecast.php line 70

Thanks for your library

Hey Man, Any tips on how to get the html view working , I dug abit deeper into your library (dont really want to edit the core files.

Openweatermap api provide 5days/3hours data but examples are not provided this.
So question is in header of issue.

in Examples/WeatherHistory.php, line 44

This file ends with no newline character. It won't render properly on a terminal, and it's considered a bad practice. Add a simple line feed as the last character to fix it.

// Example 1: Get hourly weather history between 2014-01-01 and today.
$history = $owm->getWeatherHistory('Berlin', new \DateTime('2014-01-01'), new \DateTime('now'), 'hour', $units, $lang);

foreach ($history as $weather) {
    echo "Average temperature at " . $weather->time->format('d.m.Y H:i') . ": " . $weather->temperature . "\n\r<br />";
}

When a Forecast object is constructed, it calculates the value for the Temperature->now as the average of the minimum and maximum from the temperature values in the XML message. However, because all values are strings but no conversion to floats is done, the temp values are cast to integers and the resulting average is incorrect.

This is causing us issues when using our own autoloader.

This should be moved to its own file and not mixed with a class definition file.

Cleanup and Minor Features

• Remove deprecated methods and constructor arguments from the OpenWeatherMap class
• Change ° C back to °C (The API should not be HTML aware.)
• Add better error handling
• Make sure to handle invalid data from OWM properly (#100)
• #131
• Remove population field from City.
• Remove $appid from all methods except constructor
• Split forecast apis into two methods (no more magic depending on the number of requested days)
• Rename temperature->current to temperature->avg
• Split up Temperature class into separate class for 16 day forecast
• Merge getCurrentWeather() and getCurrentWeatherGroup()

Documentation

• Remove Examples and write a proper documentation instead #98
• Document all the OWM bugs this API fixes

Tests

• Achieve 100% test code coverage
  • Find a tool to create a mock api server
  • Integrate mock api server

New Features

• Support more / all OWM apis
• Support unit conversion #37
• Replace "Fetcher" classes by HTTPlug http://httplug.io/ PSR 18
• Replace custom caching by PSR-6 implementation http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-6/
• Add PSR\Logger support (especially useful for debugging nasty OWM errors)

You are welcome to propose further (backwards incompatible) changes.

I'm usually not a kind of person that want to issue a bugs, but I have to notify, that when I choose weather forecast, for 14 days it shows only 7.

According to http://openweathermap.org/appid, the API key is now required to make the API calls whether you have a free or paid for account. This means that the api key must be passed to each getWeather() since the default is NULL.
It's not a bug at this point since there is a way around it by explicitly passing the api key to every call, but it does break the Examples. It's probably a good idea to add the addition parameter to the OpenWeatherMap() constructor to set the default api key in the class and then use it as the default in all the other methods, unless overridden.

Hey, I get this error "OpenWeatherMap exception: (Code 404)". Is it because I'm doing something wrong or is it the service? I'm new to using apis so go easy on me lol

If you need to see my code just say so.

Thanks for any help :)

Hello,
I;m using the multiple days forecast query. WHen I do like this, it works perfect:

$forecast = $owm->getWeatherForecast($info->name, $units, $lang, Config::get('app.owmapi'), $days);

But, when I try to do it, by lat/lon, is gives me an error...

$forecast = $owm->getWeather($query = array('lat' => $info->latitude, 'lon' => $info->longitude), $units, $lang, Config::get('app.owmapi'), $days); 

Can you please wheater is a bug, or I'm missing something, because there was no lat/lng query based example.

Thanks in advance

Good day. How can i change hPa to mmHg?
I know that this must be like a $pressure = $pressure * 0.75006375541921;
but I can not find where this variable is set to count it.

Woud it be possible to change "metric" to "°C" when printing temperatures in metric unites? Nobody says "metric".

Hello,

The url to access Historical Datas from OWM API is broken in Cmfcmf/OpenWeatherMap.php (line 68).
private $weatherHistoryUrl = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/history/city?';

You should use the new url :
private $weatherHistoryUrl = 'http://history.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/history/city?';

Regards

Please Add timezone for Sunrise and Sunset.

The DateTimezone for the OWM Api is GMT but for the right Sunrise and Sunset Datetime we need the correct Timezone.

Sunrise and sunset times from owm appear to be ISO8601 formatted times (at least loosely), but they don't specify a timezone (they are UTC).
When datetime objects are created from these timestamps, no timezone is explicitly specified, and php assumes it's my localtime.

Hi and thanks a lot for this great work !
I noticed a weird bug when using with Symfony2.

When I do something like hereunder (in a controller),

// Language of data (try your own language here!):
        $lang = $request->getLocale();

        // Units (can be 'metric' or 'imperial' [default]):
        $units = 'metric';


        $owm = new OpenWeatherMap();

        try {
            $weather = $owm->getWeather($city, $units, $lang);
        } catch(OWMException $e) {
            echo 'OpenWeatherMap exception: ' . $e->getMessage() . ' (Code ' . $e->getCode() . ').';
            echo "<br />\n";
        } catch(\Exception $e) {
            echo 'General exception: ' . $e->getMessage() . ' (Code ' . $e->getCode() . ').';
            echo "<br />\n";
        }

        return $weather;

I got this error :

[Semantical Error] The annotation "@note" in method Cmfcmf\\OpenWeatherMap\\Util\\Unit::getFormatted() was never imported. Did you maybe forget to add a "use" statement for this annotation?

It seems that the @note annotations are interpreted as standard Symfony annotations...
If I remove the @note, everything work as expected !

Thanks a lot !

Hi,
I very often get a OWMExceptionexception 'Cmfcmf\OpenWeatherMap\Exception' with message 'Unknown fatal error: OpenWeatherMap returned the following json object: ' in C:...\openweathermap-php-api\Cmfcmf\OpenWeatherMap.php:168

When I call $owm->getRawHourlyForecastData(), immediately followed by $owm->getWeather().
The order of calls doesn't matter. I think that something goes wrong when the owm calls are too close.

I tried to insert a sleep(2) between the 2 calls without success... I wondered if openWeather() could limit the time between 2 requests but as it's 3000 req/min in free account. I don't think that the problem could be here.

Any idea?

Really useful for a great free service.

I can install on a local host / dedicated server with root access but we have a shared server we need to install on. Using Composer other packages can be installed but the hosting company is telling me that OpenWeatherMap-PHP-Api requires root access.

I'm no composer expert, but is this correct and is there a way around it?

The copyright link in the readme.md is dead

The weather icon ID is available, but as for now I did not find any examples that are using icons. However, this lead me to having problems finding out how to use the icons that are called. I could dig a lot deeper to find out, but wouldn't it be better to have an example at Examples/CurrentWeather.php?

Hiya,

When I write $lang = 'en'; as option to the script ($own->getRawData) it will return no matter what. Tried finding it on my own, failed :)

Hello,

It seems the php-unit version number is a little incorrect. The ^ operator requires a full version - ^4.7.0 for example, rather than the configured ^4.7 version, which is actually failing when I try to build a project. Any chance you could update this?

Thanks!
