To fetch the current date and time and real-time weather data from an online cloud API

(OpenWeatherMap) using R

Objective
 To retrieve system date and time
 To access real-time weather data using a cloud API
 To understand API-based cloud computing interaction

Requirements
 R or RStudio
 Internet connection
 OpenWeatherMap API key (free)

Step 1: Get OpenWeatherMap API Key


1. Go to: [Link]
2. Sign up / login
3. Generate API key
4. Copy the API key

Step 2: Install Required Packages


[Link]("httr")
[Link]("jsonlite")

Step 3: Load Libraries


library(httr)
library(jsonlite)

Step 4: Fetch Current Date and Time


current_time <- [Link]()
print(current_time)

Step 5: Define API URL


Replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with your actual key:

api_key <- "YOUR_API_KEY"


city <- "Bangalore"
url <- paste0("[Link]
city,
"&appid=",
api_key,
"&units=metric")

Step 6: Send Request to Cloud API


response <- GET(url)

Step 7: Extract Data


data <- content(response, "text")
weather_data <- fromJSON(data)

Step 8: Display Weather Information


cat("City:", weather_data$name, "\n")
cat("Temperature:", weather_data$main$temp, "°C\n")
cat("Humidity:", weather_data$main$humidity, "%\n")
cat("Weather:", weather_data$weather[[1]]$description, "\n")

Expected Output
 Current system date and time
 Real-time weather details such as:
o Temperature
o Humidity
o Weather condition
