WeatherGoRound

WeatherGoRound is a Go application designed to showcase the gofr framework at MITS DevSummit'24. This application fetches weather data and generates a sassy weather recommendation using the Open-Meteo and Groq APIs.

Features

• Fetches current weather data using the Open-Meteo API.
• Sends the weather data to the Groq API for a humorous and sassy recommendation.
• Provides endpoints to access raw weather data and sassy recommendations.

Prerequisites

• Go (version 1.18 or higher)
• Groq API key (available from the Groq website)
• Internet connection for API calls

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/vaishakhsnair/weathergoround.git
   cd weathergoround

2. Install dependencies:

   go mod tidy

3. Set up environment variables:

   Create a .env file in the root directory with your Groq API key:

   GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key
   

4. Create the sassy.txt file:

   In the prompts directory, create a sassy.txt file with the following content:

   You are a sassy weather forecaster. Given a weather report, provide a sassy recommendation for the upcoming weather (i.e., weather after the current time).
   
   Respond only with the following JSON format:
   
   {
     "recommendation": "<your recommendation>",
     "current_time": "<current time>"
   }
   

Running the Application

1. Start the application:

   go run main.go

2. Access the endpoints:

   • Sassy Weather Recommendation: Navigate to http://localhost:8080/sassy to get a sassy weather recommendation based on the current weather.
   • Raw Weather Data: Navigate to http://localhost:8080/ to get the current weather data.

Code Overview

• main.go: Contains the core logic and setup for the application.
  • getWeather(): Retrieves current weather data from the Open-Meteo API.
  • getGPTResponse(): Sends weather data to the Groq API and receives a sassy recommendation.
  • main(): Initializes and starts the HTTP server using the gofr framework.

Purpose

This project was specifically developed to demonstrate the capabilities of the gofr framework at MITS DevSummit'24. It highlights how gofr can be used to build a simple yet powerful application integrating external APIs.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure that the .env file contains a valid Groq API key.
• Verify the existence and format of the prompts/sassy.txt file.
• Check network connectivity if API calls fail.
