Hi folks! How are yall? Are there any free weather APIs that one can use instead of the one that Free Code Camp provides that only displays a static weather result per Shunzeji?? Thanks for the help in advance!

This is my weather app here: https://codepen.io/IDCoder/pen/NwNOgq
I’m tired of seeing my web app with this static weather result!

@camperextraordinaire, I want that wherevever a person is, the weather automatically adjusts for that location, similar to my smartphone.

How can I integrate this into my code to get an entire information readout…city, windspeed, etc…?

if ("geolocation" in navigator) {
  // check if geolocation is supported/enabled on current browser
  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
   function success(position) {
     // for when getting location is a success
     console.log('latitude', position.coords.latitude, 
                 'longitude', position.coords.longitude);
   },
  function error(error_message) {
    // for when getting location results in an error
    console.error('An error has occured while retrieving
                  location', error_message)
  }  
});
} else {
  // geolocation is not supported
  // get your location some other way
  console.log('geolocation is not enabled on this browser')
}
