From b701d274451394c578b68026e9c9d23cb4982f70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric McCormick Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2016 16:01:22 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] updated to use alternate to openweatherapi The Open Weather Map API was not serving over HTTPS, leading to mixed content issues, since geolocation requires HTTPS. Forecast.io's API is also free, requires sign up, but up to 1k hits per day w/ no charge or card on file. I'm (unsurprisingly) not the first person to notice this. Seems to intersect w/ #7853 and #9145. squash! updated forecast.io references to 'dark sky' updated forecast.io references to 'dark sky' --- .../intermediate-ziplines.json | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/challenges/01-front-end-development-certification/intermediate-ziplines.json b/challenges/01-front-end-development-certification/intermediate-ziplines.json index d4728840f5..b5ae1e883f 100644 --- a/challenges/01-front-end-development-certification/intermediate-ziplines.json +++ b/challenges/01-front-end-development-certification/intermediate-ziplines.json @@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ "User Story: I can see the weather in my current location.", "User Story: I can see a different icon or background image (e.g. snowy mountain, hot desert) depending on the weather.", "User Story: I can push a button to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius.", - "We recommend using the Open Weather API.
