Socket Weather

Inspired by Shifty Jelly's retired Pocket Weather, this app makes use of a completely undocumented API from Australia's Bureau of Meteorology. It might break at a moment's notice, but while it's up we can enjoy a simple Australian weather app. It's available on Google Play.

This app is a hobby project where I experiment with different ideas. The code, UI, and feature set are likely to change quite a bit. That being said, if there are any features or improvements you'd like to see, feel free to submit an issue to discuss potential PRs.

What API are you hitting?

One that delivers data for Australia Only. I stumbled upon https://api.weather.bom.gov.au/v1. All requests and responses have been modelled after poking and prodding that endpoint.

What parts of the codebase are interesting?
