**WeatherWhisper** is a lightning‑fast, cross‑platform CLI for real‑time weather data and five‑day forecasts—no browser, no bloat. Powered by the free [OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org/api) API.

## Features

* **Current conditions & 5‑day / hourly forecast** for any city or `lat,lon`
* Metric *or* Imperial units (`-u metric|imperial`)
* ANSI colour themes that match temperature & conditions *(toggle with `--no-color`)*
* ASCII art icons for common weather types *(toggle with `--no-ascii`)*
* Output views: **brief**, **detailed**, **json**, **forecast**
* Save unlimited **favourites** for one‑command lookup
* Transparent on‑disk **caching** to reduce API calls
* Sunrise / sunset, wind, humidity, pressure, visibility, clouds
* Extensible plug‑in architecture (see *Roadmap*)

---

## Installation

```bash
pip install --upgrade weatherwhisper   # Python ≥ 3.7
```

First launch creates `~/.weatherwhisper/config.ini`.

### Alternate Install

```bash
git clone https://github.com/danushgopinath/weatherwhisper.git
cd weatherwhisper
python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
```

---

## Get an API Key

1. Sign up at [https://openweathermap.org/api](https://openweathermap.org/api).
2. Copy the 32‑character key.
3. One‑time setup:

```bash
weatherwhisper config --api-key YOUR_KEY
```

The key is stored in `config.ini` so you only set it once.

---

## Usage

### Command Reference

| Command               | Purpose                 | Notes                   |                                  |                                       |
| --------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `current <location>`  | Current conditions      | City name or `lat,lon`  |                                  |                                       |
| `forecast <location>` | 5‑day / 3‑hour forecast | Same locations as above |                                  |                                       |
| \`favorites add       | list                    | remove\`                | Manage favourites                | 1st favourite is the default location |
| \`config show         | set\`                   | View or change config   | Any flag can be saved as default |                                       |

Run `weatherwhisper --help` or `<command> --help` for every flag.

#### Common Flags

* `-u, --units metric|imperial`  – Choose °C/m or °F/mi
* `-f, --format brief|detailed|json|forecast` – Output view
* `--no-color` – Disable ANSI colours (logs & scripts)
* `--no-ascii` – Hide ASCII weather icons
* `--cache <minutes>` – Override default cache TTL

### Output Formats

| View         | Example                                 |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| **Brief**    | ![brief](images/brief.png)              |
| **Forecast** | ![forecast](images/forecast.png)        |
| **JSON**     | `{ "temp": 15.3, "condition": "Rain" }` |

---

## Configuration

`~/.weatherwhisper/config.ini` (created on first run):

```ini
[general]
api_key = YOUR_KEY_HERE
units = metric
color = true
ascii = true
cache_minutes = 15
```

Edit by hand *or* use the CLI:

```bash
weatherwhisper config set --units imperial --no-color
weatherwhisper config show
```

![Config sample](images/config.png)

---

## Caching & Rate Limits

* All responses are cached on disk for **15 minutes** by default.
* Cache is keyed by **endpoint + location + units**.
* Pass `--cache 0` to force a live API request.

This keeps most users well below the free‐tier limit of **60 calls / minute**.

## Examples

```bash
# Brief, coloured output
weatherwhisper current "Paris"

# JSON for scripting
weatherwhisper current "51.5074,-0.1278" -f json | jq .temp

# Forecast grid with no ASCII art
weatherwhisper forecast "Tokyo" --no-ascii

# Use the first favourite automatically
weatherwhisper current
```
