The Weather API is a lightweight and efficient RESTful service built with Node.js and Express.js to provide real-time weather data for various locations. It integrates with external weather data providers (e.g., OpenWeather API) to fetch and deliver accurate weather forecasts, current conditions, and historical weather data.
Key Features:
Real-Time Weather Data: Get up-to-date weather conditions, including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and more.
City-Based Search: Retrieve weather details by providing a city name or geographic coordinates.
Multiple Units Support: Offers temperature data in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin.
Caching Mechanism: Uses in-memory caching (Redis or Node.js built-in caching) to optimize API performance and reduce external API calls.
Error Handling: Implements robust error handling for invalid requests, missing parameters, or API failures.
Secure & Scalable: Designed with security best practices, including API key authentication and rate limiting.
