@2Irina2

If only i could find a tutorial that explains how to call the open weather api and how to store it somehow, that would be great

to store the information i mean

@ooade

@2Irina2 the first thing to do is to get the user's latitude and longitude. geolocation is currently having issues but thanks to http://ipinfo.io you can grab the latitude and longitude from there. Thereafter, you make a request, i prefer to use

$.getJSON(`http://apiUrl`, function(data){//dosomethingWIthData})
