102
+ <h1>queries</h1>
76
103
  <p>
77
- Why? Barometer returns the weather for a given location. Most weather
78
- service APIs are somewhat restricted on the query format they receive. To
79
- bridge this gap and allow for maximum flexibility on the
80
- &#8216;barometer&#8217; query format, the query will be geo-coded using the
81
- Google geocoding service, if required. Graticule can provide this geocoding
82
- interface.
104
+ The query handling is one of the most beneficial and powerful features of
105
+ Barometer. Every weather service accepts a different set of possible
106
+ queries, so it usually the case that the same query can only be used for a
107
+ couple weather services.
83
108
  </p>
84
109
  <p>
85
- Using Graticule requires a free Google API key for geocoding. It is
86
- possible to use barometer without geocoding, though your query format will
87
- be limited to that of the weather service API.
110
+ Barometer will allow the use of all query formats for all services
111
+ (mostly). It does this by first determining the original query format, then
112
+ converting the query to a compatible format for each specific weather
113
+ service.
88
114
  </p>
89
115
  <p>
90
- ALTERNATE: If you supply a Google API key but don&#8217;t install the
91
- Graticule gem, HTTParty will be used instead to provide the same geocoding.
92
- Basically Graticule is only used if it exists.
116
+ For example, Yahoo! only accepts US Zip Code or Weather.com ID. With
117
+ Barometer you can query Yahoo! with a simple location (ie: Paris) or even
118
+ an Airport code (ICAO) and it will return the weather as expected.

95
- NOTE: you can force Barometer not to use Graticule, even if you have it

+ Barometer has internal conversion caching. No conversion will be repeated
148
+ during a measurement, thus limiting the number of web queries needed.
149
+ </p>
150
+ <p>
151
+ Example: If you configure Barometer to use both Yahoo and Weather.com, then
152
+ use a query like &quot;denver&quot;, this will require a conversion from
153
+ &quot;denver&quot; to its weather.com weather_id. This conversion is needed
154
