When to use which?
7Timer! is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. WeatherAPI works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps. WeatherAPI supports HTTPS, which is required for production deployments and secure data handling.
