Apple is in the final stages of shuttering the DarkSky service\/API. They’ve replaced it with WeatherKit<\/a>, which has both an xOS framework version as well as a REST API. To use either, you need to be a member of the Apple Developer Program (ADP) \u2014 $99.00\/USD per-year \u2014 and calls to the service via either method are free up to 500K\/month. After that, Apple has pricing tears.<\/p>\n

As a result of the forced-ADP membership fee, I’m not sure how many folks are going to invest in building anything but freemium native or web apps. DarkSky had a generous free tier that only required an API key.<\/p>\n

Since I had a {darksky} R package, I recently made a similar {weatherkit} package \u2014https:\/\/rud.is\/b\/2022\/07\/07\/introducing-weatherkit-the-eventual-replacement-r-package-for-darksky\/<\/a> \u2014 complete with a CLI demo program.<\/p>\n

Lots of R folks will disagree with the following, but R is a terrible language for CLI tools if you’re not already invested in the R ecosystem. CRAN makes it a pain to modify the user’s local system, and most R things have a ton of dependencies. So, while I generally code R-first, I do not code R-only, especially for CLI tools.<\/p>\n

I like Rust more than Golang, and am also getting used to it over C\/C++, so I threw together a Rust-based WeatherKit CLI tool shortly after the R one \u2014 https:\/\/github.com\/hrbrmstr\/weatherkit-rust<\/a>. There’s documentation for how to cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s required to get authentication to work.<\/p>\n

The GH releases have a signed macOS universal binary and I’m working on decomposing Starship’s wicked cool Rust release builder<\/a> that uses the equally cool Google release-please<\/a> to deal up binaries for virtually every platform.<\/p>\n

I may make the Rust version a full WeatherKit API library, but I don’t know if I’m going to invest time into something that may just get shoved aside due to the hate I’m expecting to see pointed in Apple’s direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
