Dark Sky Workflow for Alfred

Requirements

• Alfred
• Alfred Powerpack
• OS X Mavericks

Installation

Download and install the workflow.

These environment variables can be configured in Alfred:

• DARK_SKY_API_KEY: Get an API key here.
• GOOGLE_API_KEY: Get an API key here. (Used for geocoding queries. This can be omitted if you only want the forecast for the current location.)
• FORECAST_UNITS: Defaults to auto, which sets the units based on the location. Use si for Celsius and us for Fahrenheit.
• DEFAULT_LAT_LONG: Set this to override IP geolocation. Ex: 47.7396,-122.3426 for Seattle.
• DEFAULT_LOCATION: Used for displaying the location name when using DEFAULT_LAT_LONG.

TODO

• Handle errors gracefully
• Caching? (Probably unnecessary...)
• Use Accept-Encoding: gzip for Dark Sky API calls
