# 06 Server-Side APIs: Weather Dashboard
## Your Task
Third-party APIs allow developers to access their data and functionality by making requests with specific parameters to a URL. Developers are often tasked with retrieving data from another application's API and using it in the context of their own. Your challenge is to build a weather dashboard that will run in the browser and feature dynamically updated HTML and CSS.
Use the [OpenWeather One Call API](https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-api) to retrieve weather data for cities. Read through the documentation for setup and usage instructions. You will use `localStorage` to store any persistent data.
## User Story
```AS A travelerI WANT to see the weather outlook for multiple citiesSO THAT I can plan a trip accordingly```
## Acceptance Criteria
```GIVEN a weather dashboard with form inputsWHEN I search for a cityTHEN I am presented with current and future conditions for that city and that city is added to the search historyWHEN I view current weather conditions for that cityTHEN I am presented with the city name, the date, an icon representation of weather conditions, the temperature, the humidity, the wind speed, and the UV indexWHEN I view the UV indexTHEN I am presented with a color that indicates whether the conditions are favorable, moderate, or severeWHEN I view future weather conditions for that cityTHEN I am presented with a 5-day forecast that displays the date, an icon representation of weather conditions, the temperature, the wind speed, and the humidityWHEN I click on a city in the search historyTHEN I am again presented with current and future conditions for that city```
## Mock-Up
The following image shows the web application's appearance and functionality:
