Weather Service Application

General Info:

• The Weather API allows users to search for the current weather report of a city by its name. The request is made to /weather/{city} URL with {city} as the path variable.

• The city parameter is validated to ensure it is not blank or a decimal value. If it is invalid, a 400 - Http Bad Request response is returned.

• The API gets the current weather from either the database or consumes the WeatherStack API using an API key.

  • If the latest data is not older than 30 minutes, it is retrieved from the database.
  • If the data is older than 30 minutes or does not exist in the database, a request is made to the WeatherStack API, and the result is cached. If there is a cached value with the city filter as the key, the response is returned from the cache directly.

• If there is too many request for api in 10 sec, a 429 Too Many Request response is returned.

• For usages, weather Stack Api_Key should be defined in the application.yml file or an .env file .

• The API endpoint can be found on the Swagger page at http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html.
