82## Examples
83
84There are a few full examples in the examples directory that can be referenced. 1 is a command line application and 1 is a simple web application.
85
86```Go
87package main
88
89import (
90 "log"
91 "fmt"
92 "os"
93
94 // Shortening the import reference name seems to make it a bit easier
95 owm "github.com/briandowns/openweathermap"
96)
97
98var apiKey = os.Getenv("OWM_API_KEY")
99
100func main() {
101 w, err := owm.NewCurrent("F", "ru", apiKey) // fahrenheit (imperial) with Russian output
102 if err != nil {
103 log.Fatalln(err)
104 }
105
106 w.CurrentByName("Phoenix")
107 fmt.Println(w)
108}
109
110```
111
112### Current Conditions by location name
113
