Code developed for demo and educational purposes. Creates one or more widgets inside a web page showing information about the weather and the local time in any place of the world.

Code gets information making requests to third party APIs:

• From api.openweathermap.org gets weather data, with requests commited via gc-info.herokuapp.com (custom server written in Flask/Python) to bypass Cross Origin blocks.
• From tech.yandex.com/translate/ gets translated location names (via gc-info.herokuapp.com too).
• From api.timezonedb.com gets local times (via gc-info.herokuapp.com too).
• From ipapi.co gets location coordinates that corresponds to client IP, with requests straight from the client.

User should include in head section a tag like this:

<script src='widget-weather-and-clock.js'></script> 

and in body section one or more tags like this:

<script>new WeatherApiWidget({
  latitude:37.983810, 
  longitude:23.727539, 
  timeRefresh:600000, 
  width:180,
  border:'1px solid darkgreen', 
  background:'cyan', 
  color:'darkgreen'
});</script>

or even like this:

<script>new WeatherApiWidget();</script>

All arguments are optional:

• Latitude and longitude represent location coordinates on the map, if ommitted the code automatically place them with coordinates that corresponds to client IP.
• TimeRefresh (in milliseconds) define how frequent data refresh, if ommitted the default value is 900000 (15 minutes).
• Width, border, background and color corresponds to CSS values (widget's styling is isolated from document general styling).
