Description

amCharts Weather Map is a JavaScript library that helps your create beautiful, dynamically-updated, searchable maps and charts with all kinds of weather-related information

Installation

Before you start, ensure you have your own OpenWeather API-Key to be able to retrieve the weather data.

Quick and Dirty

You just want to give it a quick try and check it's capabilities, follow these few points.

Using under SSL

If you are going to run this tool under SSL-encoded URL, you'll need to update the OpenWeather API endpoint in your OPENWEATHER_APIKEY.js. The default one is as follows:

OPENWEATHER_ENDPOINT = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/"; 

To use the SSL-enabled endpoint, update it to:

OPENWEATHER_ENDPOINT = "https://pro.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/"; 

Please note, that SSL connection is not available with their free and Starup subscription plans. You'll need at least Developer subscription.
