Sure, let's generate an API for a weather forecasting service, with the following specifications:
Required Endpoints/Functionalities:
Current Weather: Retrieve current weather information for a specific location.
Weather Forecast: Get a weather forecast for a specific location for the next few days.
Historical Weather Data: Access historical weather data for a specific location on a particular date.
Weather Alerts: Receive weather alerts or warnings for a given location.
Data Format/Parameters Required:
Location: Latitude and longitude or city name
Date Range (for historical data): Start date and end date
Optional Parameters: Units (e.g., metric, imperial), language preferences
Additional Features/Integrations:
Integration with Geocoding Services: Convert city names to coordinates and vice versa.
Caching Mechanism: Cache frequently requested data to improve performance.
Webhooks for Weather Alerts: Allow users to subscribe to alerts via callbacks.
Security Standards/Measures:
API Key Authentication: Require an API key for accessing endpoints.
HTTPS Encryption: Ensure all communication occurs over secure HTTPS connections.
Rate Limiting: Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse or excessive usage.
Handling Potential Errors/Exceptions:
Error Handling: Provide descriptive error messages and appropriate HTTP status codes for various error scenarios.
Throttling/Error Retry: Implement strategies for handling high traffic or temporary service outages.
Here's an example use case in Python for accessing current weather information using this API:
import requests
api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
base_url = 'https://weather-api.com/'
def get_current_weather(location):
endpoint = 'current'
params = {
'key': api_key,
'q': location,
}
response = requests.get(f'{base_url}{endpoint}', params=params)
if response.status_code == 200:
return response.json()
else:
return f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.json()['error']['message']}"
# Example usage
location = 'New York'
weather_data = get_current_weather(location)
print(weather_data)
This API offers a comprehensive set of functionalities for accessing weather data, ensures security through API key authentication and HTTPS encryption, handles errors gracefully, and provides flexibility through optional parameters for customization.
