How to get National and Local Weather Forecast datas?
Mells

Hi,
has any of you done an app that gets and displays informations from National and Local Weather Forecast (rainy, 7°C), and do I have to use BHWax for that (iOS dev)?
I'm wondering if there is a main provider for that (like google maps for .. maps).
thank you

You simply call their API for specific location like this: http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=851991&u=c
and then parse the XML response.
Here you can find some XMl parser libs in lua: http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaXml
Only trouble you may have is getting yahoo locations codes, don't really know how exactly they work yet
Thank you @ar2rsawseen
There is a "Weather Forecast using Yahoo Weather API" in the Example projects > Networking Section.
How wonderful is that?
+1 for providing test files (and please bundle new ones with each new release of Gideros
Now I "just" have to find a way to get the user's location or let him enter himself
