Example:

/Users/peelman/.rbenv/shims/ruby ~/bin/weather.rb --lat 38.9456155 --long -85.8804469 --key da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709

weather.rb

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'forecast_io'
require 'optparse'

options = {}
OptionParser.new do |opts|
  opts.banner = "Usage: weather.rb --key <api_key> --lat <latitude> --long <longitude>"
  opts.on('--key', '--api_key API_KEY') { |v| options[:key] = v }
  opts.on('--lat', '--latitude LATITUDE') { |v| options[:lat] = v }
  opts.on('--long', '--longitude LONGITUDE') { |v| options[:long] = v }

end.parse!

ForecastIO.configure do |configuration|
  configuration.api_key = options[:key]
end

forecast = ForecastIO.forecast(options[:lat], options[:long], params: { exclude: 'minutely,hourly,daily,alerts,flags' })

puts "#{forecast.currently.temperature}° (#{forecast.currently.apparentTemperature}°) #{forecast.currently.summary}"
