How to Configure Gene-WeatherIntelligence — No API Keys Required for Most Tools

Overview

Gene-WeatherIntelligence is designed to work immediately after deployment. The four main weather tools use the free Open-Meteo API, which requires no API key, no configuration, and no sign-up. You can start checking weather data right away.

This guide covers:

• Immediate start — Using the gene with no configuration
• Finding coordinates — Getting latitude and longitude for any location
• Optional setup — Adding city-based weather search with OpenWeatherMap
• Testing — Verifying everything works

Start Immediately (No Configuration Needed)

The following tools work immediately after deployment with no API keys or configuration:

Tool	What It Does
currentWeather	Get current weather conditions by latitude/longitude
weatherForecast	Get daily forecasts with highs and lows
weatherHistory	Get historical weather data for any date range
severeWeatherAlerts	Get active weather warnings and advisories

To start using the gene:

1. Deploy Gene-WeatherIntelligence to Feluda
2. Get the latitude and longitude for your location
3. Run currentWeather with your coordinates
4. Run weatherForecast to see upcoming days
5. Use the AI prompts for guided planning

Finding Latitude and Longitude

Open-Meteo tools require latitude and longitude coordinates. Here are simple ways to find them:

Method 1: Search Engine

• Search for: [city name] latitude longitude
• Example: "New York latitude longitude" → 40.7128, -74.0060

Method 2: Mapping Services

• Open Google Maps or any mapping service
• Right-click on the location
• Select "What's here?" or similar
• Copy the coordinates

Method 3: Online Tools

• Use a free coordinate finder service
• Enter a location name
• Get the coordinates

Common Coordinates for Reference:

City	Latitude	Longitude
New York	40.7128	-74.0060
London	51.5074	-0.1278
Tokyo	35.6762	139.6503
Sydney	-33.8688	151.2093
Paris	48.8566	2.3522
Berlin	52.5200	13.4050
Singapore	1.3521	103.8198
Dubai	25.2048	55.2708

Optional: Add City-Based Weather Search

If you want to search for weather by city name instead of coordinates, you can add the OpenWeatherMap API:

Step 1: Sign Up for OpenWeatherMap

1. Go to https://openweathermap.org/api
2. Click "Sign Up" and create a free account
3. Once logged in, navigate to your API keys
4. You'll find your API key in the dashboard
5. Copy the key for use in Feluda Vault

Step 2: Configure the Secret in Feluda Vault

1. Open the Feluda Desktop Application
2. Navigate to the Vault section
3. Click "Add Secret"
4. Add the following key-value pair:

Secret Name	Value
OPENWEATHER_API_KEY	Your OpenWeatherMap API key

5. Save the secret

Step 3: Test City-Based Search

Run: tool:weatherByCity with city=London

Expected: Weather data for London

Test Your Setup

Test Without API Keys (Immediate)

1. currentWeather

   • Run: tool:currentWeather with latitude=40.7128, longitude=-74.0060
   • Expected: Current weather data for New York

2. weatherForecast

   • Run: tool:weatherForecast with latitude=40.7128, longitude=-74.0060, days=3
   • Expected: 3-day forecast for New York

3. weatherAnalyst (Prompt)

   • Run: prompt:weatherAnalyst with latitude=40.7128, longitude=-74.0060, depth=standard
   • Expected: Guided weather analysis workflow

Test With API Keys (Optional)

weatherByCity

• Run: tool:weatherByCity with city=London
• Expected: Weather data for London

Troubleshooting

Tool Returns "Error: 'latitude' parameter is required"

This means you need to provide both latitude and longitude parameters.

• Check that both parameters are included
• Example: latitude=40.7128, longitude=-74.0060

Tool Returns HTTP 404 or No Data

This can happen for:

• Invalid coordinates (check they are correct)
• Locations with limited weather station coverage
• Historical data requests outside the available range

Tool Returns "Secret Not Configured"

This only applies to weatherByCity:

• Check that you've added OPENWEATHER_API_KEY to Vault
• Verify the secret name matches exactly
• Restart Feluda after adding secrets

Next Steps

1. Deploy Gene-WeatherIntelligence to Feluda
2. Test currentWeather with your location
3. Test weatherForecast for planning
4. Use the AI prompts for guided analysis
5. Integrate weather intelligence into your daily workflows
6. (Optional) Add OpenWeatherMap API key for city-based search

You can start using the gene immediately without any API keys. No configuration is required.
