I’ve bumped up the version number of `Rforecastio` ([github](https://github.com/hrbrmstr/Rforecastio)) to `1.1.0`. The new
features are:
– removing the SSL certificate bypass check (it doesn’t need it
anymore)
– using `plyr` for easier conversion of JSON-\>data frame
– adding in a new `daily` forecast data frame
– roxygen2 inline documentation
library(Rforecastio) library(ggplot2) library(plyr) # NEVER put API keys in revision control systems or source code! fio.api.key= readLines("~/.forecast.io") my.latitude = "43.2673" my.longitude = "-70.8618" fio.list <- fio.forecast(fio.api.key, my.latitude, my.longitude) fio.gg <- ggplot(data=fio.list$hourly.df, aes(x=time, y=temperature)) fio.gg <- fio.gg + labs(y="Readings", x="Time", title="Houry Readings") fio.gg <- fio.gg + geom_line(aes(y=humidity*100), color="green") fio.gg <- fio.gg + geom_line(aes(y=temperature), color="red") fio.gg <- fio.gg + geom_line(aes(y=dewPoint), color="blue") fio.gg <- fio.gg + theme_bw() fio.gg
fio.gg <- ggplot(data=fio.list$daily.df, aes(x=time, y=temperature)) fio.gg <- fio.gg + labs(y="Readings", x="Time", title="Daily Readings") fio.gg <- fio.gg + geom_line(aes(y=humidity*100), color="green") fio.gg <- fio.gg + geom_line(aes(y=temperatureMax), color="red") fio.gg <- fio.gg + geom_line(aes(y=temperatureMin), color="red", linetype=2) fio.gg <- fio.gg + geom_line(aes(y=dewPoint), color="blue") fio.gg <- fio.gg + theme_bw() fio.gg

Hi,
first time I stumbled upon your package so I’m sorry if I ask stupid questions. I’m using the Rforecastio version from 4 hours ago on R 3.1.0
Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) :
SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3GETSERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
Error in as.POSIXlt.default(fio.daily.df$precipIntensityMaxTime, origin = “1970-01-01”) :
do not know how to convert ‘fio.daily.df$precipIntensityMaxTime’ to class “POSIXlt”
This seems to happen because precipIntensityMaxTime doesn’t exist and as.POSIXlt doesn’t like to convert NULL.
Otherwise this package is a great idea. I hope to see it on CRAN soon.
The following at the beginning of fio.forecast solved the second issue – a cleaner solution would be a different function name, of course:
as.POSIXlt<-function(x,…)
if(!is.null(x)) base::as.POSIXlt(x,…) else NULL
thx. i added a
...option in the function to enable passing in of CURL options (so you can use ssl.verifypeer=FALSE and even set proxies if you need it). I also did the NULL test and fixed another issue. Thx for checking out the package & giving me a heads up on the issues!Sir, please how can I download yearly / 5 / 10 yearly data, I need it for Disease forecasting
How can i plot more information like day temperature, night temperature, wind speed etc,
thanks for such a wonderful piece of software, Dr.D.K.Samuel, Sr.Scientist, IIHR, Bangalore – 89, India
After taking a quick look at the forecast.io API, I think there’s more efficacy in using the wunderground or NCDC historical weather data. This blog has help on getting such data, including [this comment](http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/search?datasetid=GHCND) on that post.
Sir please help me I am getting these errors in win 8 64 bits

Please see the 1.2.0 update on github. You’ll need to specify
ssl.verifypeer=FALSEin the parameter list. I’ll see if I can get to adding a bulk downloading later this week.
