Understanding Weather APIs

Weather APIs provide a vast range of data, from current weather conditions to future forecasts and even historical weather records. A weather API acts as a bridge between your application and the weather service, providing the necessary data that allows you to display accurate weather information.
For our project, we will use a free weather API, which allows us to fetch weather data without having to pay for a subscription. Many best weather APIs are available for free, including options like OpenWeather API and the Weather Channel API. These free services usually come with limitations, such as request quotas or restricted access to premium features, but they are more than sufficient for building a basic weather app.
