Pixawttr

Pixawttr is a golang program to automate the creation of a pretty composite forcast image.

It uses the wttr.in service to get "Current conditions" data and an analogous PNG.

It uses the Pixabay Search API to enable the random downloading of an image based on a query string.

Installation

go get github.com/erindatkinson/pixawttr

Prerequisites

Pixawttr has an external dependency of imagemagick.

MacOS/Linux(linuxbrew)

brew bundle

Windows

1. Follow the instructions
2. Make sure that the tools are accessible and set in the PATH
3. If composite --help doesn't work in Powershell and the PATH is set correctly, you will also need to Set-Alias for magick composite to composite.

Usage

To use pixawttr, you'll need to sign up for a Pixabay account, once you've logged in, you can see your API key in the key parameter under the Search Images section of the API docs. (I haven't been able to find a way besides this to get the key :woman-shrugging:)

Once you have the key, you can place it in the environment variable PixabayAPIKey or at $HOME/.pixawttr in the following format

PixabayAPIKey: 12345678-f4f79534645cd471ea614adf92efffbc

after which, you can run

pixawttr
pixawttr -q "search term for bg image"
pixawttr -u f
pixawttr -o alternate_output.png

and the resulting image will be either what you've entered for the outFile path, or outFile.png in the directory you run it.
