How to connect Open Weather and SpaceX
Create a New Scenario to Connect Open Weather and SpaceX
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Open Weather, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Open Weather or SpaceX will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Open Weather or SpaceX, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Open Weather Node
Select the Open Weather node from the app selection panel on the right.

Open Weather
Configure the Open Weather
Click on the Open Weather node to configure it. You can modify the Open Weather URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the SpaceX Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Open Weather node, select SpaceX from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within SpaceX.

Authenticate SpaceX
Now, click the SpaceX node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your SpaceX settings. Authentication allows you to use SpaceX through Latenode.
Configure the Open Weather and SpaceX Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Open Weather and SpaceX Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Open Weather, SpaceX, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Open Weather and SpaceX integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Open Weather and SpaceX (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Open Weather and SpaceX
SpaceX + Open Weather + Google Sheets: When a new launch is announced by SpaceX, retrieve the weather forecast for the launch site using Open Weather and log the weather conditions, launch details, and site into a Google Sheet for historical analysis.
SpaceX + Open Weather + Slack: When SpaceX announces a new launch, this automation fetches the weather forecast for the launch location from Open Weather. If the weather conditions meet predefined criteria (e.g., high winds, storms), a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the team about potential launch delays.
