Each location has its own RSS feed. That example only includes the feed for London. So you need a list of the available feeds (and each feed address) so that the user can select the location they want to view.

Check out http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/ for more details.

Atooty,

Here is the simplest way to find a particular WOEID:
1. Navigate to http://weather.yahoo.com
2. Enter the location's name into the search bar and hit enter.
3. When the page opened, look at the address bar of your browser;
the url should look like this:
http://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/ ... e-2490383/
That 7 digit number at the end is the unique ID of the city.
4. Put the code into the right place of the feed example in the document which Gerry linked.

After these steps, you should get Seattle's rss feed as following:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2490383
or
feed://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2490383


Best,

ok i did it and it works
but i really dont know how to let the user write the country he wants and then get the temperature .
am really not that good in programming and live code is very new for me
if any one can help me with the code please

1. like i have a "Text entry field"
2. then the user write the location in it
3. he gets a page with the temperature like the Yahoo weather page
and that's it

PLEASE HELP ME <3

Just think for a moment. What needs to be done to get and use the text a user types into a field? There are LiveCode commands and functions that work on fields, including the ability to put text into fields, get the text in a field and to detect when the user types into a field. Look them up. Learn about fields.

Come back with a script and we'll look at it. But it's just plain rude to expect us to do all the work for you.

hello Gerry,

first of all i didn't mean by my comment to get my project done by the members here, i was simply asking for help in some problems in my project , and pages like these are created for asking other for it whats wrong in that?

and by the way i saw some topics similar to this where people didn't provide codes but they get help anyways with people willing to help with all politeness!
thank you for your previous help but if you don't want to help me anymore, you don't need to tell me am RUDE! cuz i am not !

Regards, Atooty.

Hey Atooty,
You still haven't posted any of your code.
Show us what you have done and we can show you where you went wrong

Do you see that the city is called from the last numbers of this;
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2490383

Hi Atooty,

Drop a button on a stack with this script in it.

on mouseUp
put url "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=UKXX0085" into fld1
end mouseUp

Drop a field and name it fld1

UKXX0085 is the code for London UK and the XML feed loads into the field when you press the button.
All the information you want is in there.
Just work out what you need then extract it from any lines that have the info you want...

The weather codes for any location are not hard to find. eg
London: UKXX0085
Glasgow: UKXX0061
Manchester: UKXX0092
Liverpool: UKXX0083

In the US I think you can also use the Zipcode for any location. eg
New York: USNY0996
San Francisco: USCA0987
Chicago: USIL0225
