🌦️ GraphQL Weather API

A GraphQL Wrapper for the Open Weather Map API

Retrieve the current weather for any given city. Since this GraphQL API uses the free-tier of the Open Weather Map API, it is restricted to 60 calls/minute.

However, feel free to use it for prototyping and demo projects anyways. A live version is available at:

graphql-weather-api.herokuapp.com 🌈

How to Use

Queries

• getCityByName (name required, country optional, config optional)
