Using an existing Oracle Job makes your smart contract code more succinct. This page explains how to retrieve the current weather temperature (in Kelvin) for a defined city using an existing Oracle job.

OpenWeather Consumer

In Make a GET Request, the example contract code declared which URL to use, where to find the data in the response, and how to convert it so that it can be represented on-chain.

In this example, we're using a job found on the Chainlink Market that is pre-configured to perform these tasks. This means that our contract doesn't need to specify additional parameters for various adapters, it only needs the Oracle address and the Job ID. The remaining adapters are configured by the external adapter, in particular weather_cl_ea.

This example uses the Alpha Chain Kovan Oracle, which runs the OpenWeather Data Job.
