Solution without using zip codes, Openweather

//Require https modules
const https = require('https');
const http = require('http');
const api = require('./api.json')
// this allows the const parameters to be turned into a format that the URL can understand
const querystring = require('querystring');

function get(query) {
  const parameters = {
      // query is the name of the city entered in the console 
      // I'm not American so I've left out the zip code bit
      q: query,
      APPID: api.key,
      units: 'metric'
   };

  // takes the parameters above and puts them in the URL to get the correct API fields
  const url = `https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?${querystring.stringify(parameters)}`
  // url looks like: https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=prague&APPID=********************************&units=metric 
  // **** = my api.key that I'll be keeping secret ;)

  const request = https.get(url, response => {
    let body = "";

    response.on('data', data => {
      body += data.toString();
    })

    response.on('end', () => {
      const weather = JSON.parse(body);
      printWeather(weather);
    })
  })
}

// print out the temperature in Celcius
function printWeather(weather) {
  const message = `Current weather in ${weather.name}, ${weather.sys.country} is ${weather.main.temp}C, but feels like ${weather.main.feels_like} C`
  console.log(message);
}

module.exports.get = get
