An old attempt at getting todays weather data from Wunderground.

weather.rb

require "rexml/document"

# http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/ForecastXML/index.xml?query=Boulder,CO

require 'net/http'
Net::HTTP.start("api.wunderground.com") do |http|
    resp = http.get("/auto/wui/geo/ForecastXML/index.xml?query=Boulder,CO")
    open("weather.xml", "wb") do |file|
        file.write(resp.body)
    end
end
puts "Done."

file = File.new( "./weather.xml" )
  doc = REXML::Document.new file
  high = doc.root.elements[3][1].elements["high"].elements["fahrenheit"].text
  low = doc.root.elements[3][1].elements["low"].elements["fahrenheit"].text
file.close

puts high
puts low

out = File.new("./output/today.json", 'w')
out.write("{")
out.write("\"high\": #{high},\"low\": #{low}")
out.write("}")
out.close
