Weather API Backend

This is an Express.js backend for a weather application. It uses the OpenWeatherMap API to fetch weather data for a given location.

Getting Started

To get started with this project, you will need to have Node.js and npm installed on your system. You will also need to create a .env file in the root directory of the project and add your OpenWeatherMap API key to it:

WEATHERAPI=your_api_key_here

After setting up the environment variables, you can run the following commands to start the server:

npm install
node server.js

The server will start listening on port 3001 by default, or the PORT specified in the environment variables.

Endpoints

The backend provides a single endpoint that returns weather data for a given location:

You can make a GET request to this endpoint with the location parameter set to the name of the city or location for which you want to fetch weather data. The response will be a JSON object containing the weather data for the specified location.
