I'm trying to fetch some weather data using java. I am using the following java api for fetching the data from wunderground.com
https://code.google.com/p/wunderground-core/
The example code they give on their website works okay for (Dortmund in Germany). However when I change the key from dortmund to Boston in the U.S.A, I get null pointer errors. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Please try it and leave comments/advice. Thanks!
Code:
import de.mbenning.weather.wunderground.api.domain.DataSet;
import de.mbenning.weather.wunderground.api.domain.WeatherStation;
import de.mbenning.weather.wunderground.api.domain.WeatherStations;
import de.mbenning.weather.wunderground.impl.services.HttpDataReaderService;
public class weather {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create a instance of a wunderground data reader
HttpDataReaderService dataReader = new HttpDataReaderService();
// select a wunderground weather station (ID "INORDRHE72" = Dortmund-Mengede)
WeatherStation weatherStation = WeatherStations.ALL.get("INORDRHE72");
// KMABOSTO22 is the ID for Boston South end
//WeatherStation weatherStation = WeatherStations.ALL.get("KMABOSTO32");
// set selected weather station to data reader
dataReader.setWeatherStation(weatherStation);
// get current (last) weather data set from selected station
DataSet current = dataReader.getCurrentData();
// print selected weather station ID
System.out.println(weatherStation.getStationId());
// print city, state and country of weather station
System.out.println(weatherStation.getCity() + " " + weatherStation.getState() + " " + weatherStation.getCountry());
//`enter code here` print datetime of measure and temperature ...
System.out.println(current.getDateTime() + " " + current.getTemperature());
}
}
Check out the source code of the Wunderground API.
svn checkout http://wunderground-core.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ wunderground-core-read-only
In the package de.mbenning.weather.wunderground.api.domain there is a class called WeatherStations. There you will find the content of all weather stations you can call in your code. Right now there are only a few ones:
public static final Map<String, WeatherStation> ALL = new HashMap<String, WeatherStation>();
static {
ALL.put("INRWKLEV2", INRWKLEV2_KLEVE);
ALL.put("INORDRHE110", INORDRHE110_GOCH);
ALL.put("IDRENTHE48", IDRENTHE48_COEVORDEN);
ALL.put("IZEELAND13", IZEELAND13_GOES);
ALL.put("INORDRHE72", INORDRHE72_DORTMUND);
ALL.put("INOORDBR35", INOORDBR35_BOXMEER);
};
All others won't work.
