Integrate a custom weather app with Plecto. To create a Pirate Weather data source in Plecto, you need to provide the following information:

• Retrieve an API token (also called key) from your Pirate Weather account to use in Plecto

• Specify the latitude and longitude of the location you want to get weather data from

To get your API token from Pirate Weather:

1. Go to https://pirateweather.net/en/latest/

2. Click Get an API key and sign in to your Pirate Weather account or create a new one. You should be able to get an API key when signed in.

3. Copy the token and store it in a safe place.
