Description
another current-condition/3day weather script for mythweather. It uses http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=<CityName?|ZipCode?|try yourself> As german user the other script (uk_*) don't found my city. The unit system (SI|US) is a bit tricky, i'm using &hl=de for SI units and without hl-param for US units. Don't now how to force SI/US without enforcing language.

We need to check the T&Cs for google's API.

Probably not what people want to hear, but it's an unsupported API, and "automated querying" is ToS violation. Not sure if MythWeather? is considered automated, but unless Google makes this a public API, it probably wouldn't be wise for Myth to support this API in an official way.

Based on the Google employee comment at the above link, and the fact that there's no published Terms of Service/Terms? of Use for the Google weather, it seems unlikely we'll find authorization to use the service through MythWeather? without express permission from Google. If someone can obtain such permission, please comment on the ticket and it will be re-opened. Until then, I'm closing it.
