Receive a WOEID by Lat, Long with Yahoos API

Question

i searched a while but found nothing, thats simular to my problem.

i\'m trying to use the YAHOO Weather API, for example: http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=

Answer 1

Yahoo api uses weather.com actually, so go to weather.com and search for your local weather. I'm in Chicago so I entered 'Chicago, IL' and here's the link in my browser bar showing my weather:

http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Chicago+IL+USIL0225?lswe=chicago,%20il&from=searchbox_localwx

In the link is the woeid - which is USIL0225

You can get yours the same way.
