API Mashup: Merging OpenWeather with Astronomical Algorithms

Calculating prayer times isn’t just about the sun; it’s about the sect’s specific jurisprudence. In this post, I’ll share how I pipe the City Name into OpenWeatherMap (for lat/long) and run it through a custom SunCalc algorithm in n8n to derive precise ‘Nisful Layl’ and ‘Zawal’ times.

Using the OpenWeatherMap API, I retrieve the City’s latitude and longitude. Then, I use these coordinates to run the SunCalc algorithm in n8n, which generates the accurate ‘Zawal’ and ‘Maghrib’ times based on the City’s location. The result is a seamless integration of weather data and astronomical calculations.

This API mashup is a testament to the power of data integration and the possibilities it offers in solving complex problems. By combining OpenWeatherMap and SunCalc, I’ve created a solution that provides accurate prayer times for users worldwide.

If you’re interested in building similar integrations or want to learn more about API mashups, feel free to reach out to me. I’d be happy to share more details and insights.
