Features

How it works
- The module basically automatically detects the visitor IP address and get the location details. On the basis of location detected the module then gets the weather details from OpenWeatherMap.org.
- You can also configure the module to get data for specific location by specifying the latitude and longitude through SmartWeather settings form in case you do not want the module to display website visitor specific weather details.
- The location details are fetched from GeoPlugin.com, which offers 120 requests per minute for free. If your website visitors are close to 120 request per minute then you can choose to opt for geoplugin.com premium plan. Please refer to FAQ- https://www.geoplugin.com/faq
- GeoPlugin.com includes GeoLite data created by MaxMind, available from http://www.maxmind.com.
-
Weather data is fetched from https://openweathermap.org/ with a limitation of 60 calls/minute and a total of 1,000,000 calls/month. If your website visitors are more than the above mentioned limit then you may need to buy a premium subscription.
Please refer to pricing at- https://openweathermap.org/price - The weather data is cached in Drupal for specific time so that the module does not hit the GeoPlugin API and OpenWeatherMap API at every request.
