// Assign API key
HPOpenWeather.shared.apiKey = "--- YOUR API KEY ---"

Making a request

To make a request, initialize a new request object like this

let request = WeatherRequest(coordinate: .init(latitude: 40, longitude: 30))

Or to request weather data from the past:

let timemachineRequest = TimeMachineRequest(coordinate: .init(latitude: 40, longitude: 30), date: someDate)

Note: the date has to be at least 6 hours in the past

To post a request, call the requestWeather on HPOpenWeather:

HPOpenWeather.shared.requestWeather(request) { result in
	switch result {
    case .success(let response):
    	// do something with weather data here
