Step 3 Connecting all your parts together You are going to need this information later when it is time to modify the Arduino sketch to customize it for your purpose. For our purpose you need to trim this back to look like this 49.263, -123.110. This locations has 2 numbers that look something like this 49.263173, -123.110683. Use google maps to get your GPS locations.

You are going to need your SSID and password to connect to your WI-FI router. Note it down Step 2 Collecting your WI-FI credentials and you GPS location. This 16 digits key is important information you need to keep. Look at the image below how to answer the rest of the questions. On the next page you have to supply your name, email, give a project name, and provide a web site. On this page select the Anvil plan, select the free developer account and click the Purchase key button. You create and API key by clicking on this link and creating a development account and requesting the API key. When you have received their conformation email and you have verified your email with them it is time to create an API key.

To do this you first need an account with them by clicking on this link and going through the process for signing up for an account. This type or request and response require an Application Programming Interface (or API for short) that the service provider ( in this case) creates so people like us can get data from them. They will send you the weather data back in a pre-specified format so our Arduino sketch is able to read this data.

You can access this information by requesting it using an API key using a specific web request format. is one of the many weather streaming sites that provide up to date weather information.
