I’ve been pondering this thought for about a month now. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a built-in weather system that essentially shows the weather of the local user’s location.
Now, before you comment, let’s say we had a dropdown where you could select various locations. Once you select a specific city, let’s say London (not the one in Ontario), the panel will fetch the weather data from weather.com, a widely used website for seeing the weather of various cities around the globe.
However, I am also unsure if this would be a violation of the Roblox Terms of Use even if I had a notice that stated we, Admino, do not collect any data related to weather settings.
I don’t think that’s possible unless you put what your country is at the front and you would constantly update it (which would be very annoying). I doubt this would happen, but you could try contacting weather.com to see if they could talk to roblox to link their platforms. Otherwise, I don’t think it’s possible.
I’m sure it’d be fine, you’d have to find the weather.com api. ROBLOX allows you to get a users local timezone, you can also use that to find their local location and weather.
I actually did something like this where I tracked the tube status, as long as you don’t link the URL you should be okay to go, be careful though, make sure you read the API providers ToS, they may require credit which means you won’t be able to use the API.
