# Weather-API

In this project, instead of relying on our own weather data, we will build a weather API that fetches and returns weather data from a 3rd party API. This project will help you understand how to work with 3rd party APIs, caching, and environment variables.

The idea for this project was taken from [roadmap.sh](https://roadmap.sh). You can find more details about the original project [here](https://roadmap.sh/projects/weather-api-wrapper-service).

## Setup

1. Clone the repository

2. Install dependencies with `npm install`

3. Set up your `.env` file with your API key and weather API URL:

```bash

API_KEY=your_api_key_here

weatherApiUrl=https://api.weatherapi.com/v1/current.json
