"We recently used the One Call API 3.0 in a teaching project and were thoroughly impressed with its functionality and ease of use. The students were assigned a project consisting of a browser-based weather application that would aggregate and display weather information to different users. The learning goal of the course was to teach the students design patterns and software architectures. Using a third-party API required the students to extend their knowledge of system design. Moreover, it trains problem-solving skills beyond understanding a specific programming language. Students must apply their problems to general documentation. Lastly, working with actual data was tempting to the students and differentiates our project from ones that consider artificial use cases for teaching purposes only. As an instructor of an intermediate lecture, it is crucial that the used technologies are well documented and work as expected. OpenWeather's API was easy to invoke and well-documented, making it easy for me and my students to retrieve the necessary data. Furthermore, their employees were helpful and supportive. Overall, I highly recommend OpenWeather's API to anyone looking for a reliable, user-friendly solution."
