使用Yahoo的公开API做天气预报

在Yahoo的Developer Network

http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/

详细地介绍了Yahoo天气预报的API调用方法，这里用C#来实现，本文仅作为抛砖，其它的应用由网友们自由发挥

 

首先了解Yahoo Weather Api的RSS Response格式：

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:yweather="http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0" xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#">

我们所需要用到的Node是//rss/channel/item/yweather:forecast

 

在这里我们用XmlDocument来实现，

 

using System;
using System.Xml;

namespace TestConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
            document.Load("http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=CHXX0131");

            XmlNodeList nodes = document.GetElementsByTagName("forecast",
                @"http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0");

            foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("日期:{0},星期:{1},天气:{2},温度:{3}°C 至 {4}°C",
                    node.Attributes["date"].InnerText,
                    node.Attributes["day"].InnerText,
                    node.Attributes["text"].InnerText,
                    FToC(int.Parse(node.Attributes["low"].InnerText)),
                    FToC(int.Parse(node.Attributes["high"].InnerText)));
            }
        }

        private static string FToC(int f)
        {
            return Math.Round((f - 32) / 1.8,1).ToString();
        }
    }
}

 

简单的实现了天气预报的功能了，这里调用的是河北唐山的天气，需要其它地区的天气可以这里查找代码
