Weather

Description

User story:

As an API user I want to get min, max, average and median temperature and humidity for given city and period of time.

Requirements:

• Use git for version control
• Publish on GitHub or send us a compressed repo
• Functionality
  • Create locally running RESTful web API
    • django-rest-framework recommended, though not necessary
  • that accepts a request with 'city' and 'period' args
  • fetches weather data for that location and period of time from some public API
    • e.g. Yahoo! Weather
  • computes min, max, average and median temperature and humidity for that location and period and returns that to the user.

Extra goals:

• Provide a view which renders a bar chart for the requested data.
• Deploy it somewhere.
