Hello,

It seems that the uvIndex and uvIndexTime information is missing on Data Point Object.
I've seen that the property is available when I make an HTTP request from a browser.

See the official doc

There seems to be a problem retrieving weather data for international locations using this library. When I use this code:
var fc = new ForecastIOPortable.ForecastApi(<API key>);
Forecast ForecastData = await fc.GetWeatherDataAsync(latitude, longitude,units,ForecastIOPortable.Language.English);

That code works perfectly fine for US, UK, etc locations, but when I try a place like Mumbai, India, I get the exception mentioned above.

Exception Details:
There was an error deserializing the object of type ForecastIOPortable.Models.Forecast. Input string was not in a correct format.

Note that this is just came up in the 1.5 release of my extremely popular WP weather app Atmosphere. Can you please look into this issue ASAP before I lose more international users?

Using this library in a Windows 10 app which compiles against the .NET Native toolchain, I'm getting an InvalidDataContractException in ForecastApi.ParseForecastFromResponse when the call to serializer.ReadObject is being made:

Type 'ForecastIOPortable.Models.Forecast' cannot be serialized, serialization code for the type is missing. Consult the SDK documentation for adding it as a root serialization type.

I've tried adding various runtime directives but so far none of them have worked. Adding @MattWhilden on the .NET Native team to take a look.

The "uk" unit was in the old documentation. The "uk2" unit type has now replaced that in the documentation and it is technically more appropriate - as it will return nearestStormDistance and visibility in miles and not kilometres.

I suggest add a new enum value Unit.UK2 which returns "uk2" when invoking the ToValue extension method.

The base API now supports these (as of 8 June 2015) - this library should too.

I've come across an annoying deadlock issue when using the library in an ASP.NET request context (this could apply to any UI context too). The issue is that the HttpClient method GetAsync is deadlocking.

Ref. article: Don't Block on Async Code

To fix the issue I can to call ConfigureAwait(false) after the call to GetAsync, which stopped the deadlocking. According to Stephen Cleary, this is recommended anyway (see article above).

Hello,

We are using your nuget package to consume DarkSkyApi.

We have this code :

var client = new DarkSkyService(apiKey);
Task taskWeatherData = client.GetWeatherDataAsync(latitudeAsDouble, longitudeAsDouble, Unit.CA, extendList, exclusionList, Language.French);
taskWeatherData.Wait();
var forecastWeather = taskWeatherData.Result;

Since few days we have an exception on Wait procedure. (HttpRequestException, WebException, IOException, SocketException).

We have tried with several apiKy and Several latitude and longitude.
The URL : https://api.darksky.net/forecast/b26c2949a2e9ffa9cfaa62183ed2c0c7/48.5586242184,2.43753236038 is working fine.

Do you have any explanation about that problem?

Thank you for your help.

After calling GetWeatherDataAsync for example, what property can we check to see if Dark Sky rejected the request because the account was locked out (limit exceeded) for example.

Hi
I've faced with problem with decimal separator in czech locale - it is a "," but not "."
So, as result, "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/{0}/{1},{2}?units={3}&extend={4}&exclude={5}&lang={6}" will be formatted as "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/APIKEY/50,029,14,49?units=....."

workaround for now:

CultureInfo ci = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
_forecast = await _forecastClient.GetWeatherDataAsync(_lat, _longt, units, language);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;

First off, thanks for creating this library! Super useful.

When I upgraded my Windows 8.1 app to a Windows 10 universal app I got the following error when trying to add your NuGet package:

Not compatible with UAP,Version=v10.0 (win10-x64-aot)

Italian, Polish, Pig Latin, Portuguese, and Bosnian are now supported by Forecast. These should be added to the Languages enum.

Hello,

I sent a pull request some time ago with UV index data, but there's no new available package from Nuget.

Could you please release a new one with the update ?

Thanks.

How would one work with the result object to get data out?

Trying to Install in File => New Xamarin Forms App (iOS/Android/UWP) simply fails.

Thanks for the work though looks nice!

Might be a new item on the Alerts definition, but doesn't seem to be defined in the Forecast class

https://darksky.net/dev/docs#response-format

Alerts Array

The alerts array contains objects representing the severe weather warnings issued for the requested location by a governmental authority (please see our data sources page for a list of sources). Objects in the alerts array contain the following properties:

description required
A detailed description of the alert.
expires required
The UNIX time at which the alert will expire.
regions required
An array of strings representing the names of the regions covered by this weather alert.
severity required
The severity of the weather alert. Will take one of the following values: "advisory" (an individual should be aware of potentially severe weather), "watch" (an individual should prepare for potentially severe weather), or "warning" (an individual should take immediate action to protect themselves and others from potentially severe weather).
time required
The UNIX time at which the alert was issued.
title required
A brief description of the alert.
uri required
An HTTP(S) URI that one may refer to for detailed information about the alert.

Apple has purchased Dark Sky and is shutting down the API.
The API will continue to function through the end of 2021.
More Informations

Is there an option that allows you to use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit like the website?
I could use a regex and then convert it, however it there was more than one set of numbers in the Daily Summary, I could create issues.

Hi, I've installed via nugget into an Umbraco 7 project. However, I've received the following error:
Error CS4033 The 'await' operator can only be used within an async method. Consider marking this method with the 'async' modifier and changing its return type to 'Task'.

for line: Forecast result = await client.GetWeatherDataAsync(37.8267, -122.423);

(I am following your Quick start guide)
Any ideas how to resolve this error?

See #7 - documentation is currently non-existent.

Hi - I've updated lib to version 2.3.0(Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1) and got a certification error in dev center:

Debug configuration test
