Weather monitoring application

Assignment

Write a realization for weather conditions monitoring using OpenWeatherMap API and components from Boost library.

The program is divided into 3 modules:

• network - is responsible for connecting to the external server, sending a request, and receiving a response.
• client - is responsible for passing data to network, processing results from it, and printing results on a screen.
• application - is responsible for processing command-line arguments and passing them to client.

The program is capable of:

• Showing help , if no arguments present or it was -h or --help argument;
• Reading city from the console;
• Reading token from console (If not present, check the file token.txt in the same directory as executable).
• Showing information about the weather in specified city:
  • Name of the city
  • Temperature (degree Celsius)
  • Wind velocity (meters per second)
  • Wind direction (degrees)

Receiving a token

1. Open the following site: https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up
2. Sing up there
3. In the purpose field select "Education/science"
4. Check your email, open letter, and press "Verify"
5. Your API will be here: https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys
6. Read the API doc: https://openweathermap.org/current
