Weather API Wrapper

A simple ASP.NET Core Web API that wraps the OpenWeatherMap service to provide clean and simplified weather data. Takes advantage of Swagger and VS Studios api page.

We specifically are using Geocoding API from OpenWeather.

Type in a city name and the app will display the current Temperature in Fareinheight, a short description of the conditions, and the humidity.
