Meteosphaere Twitter-Bot

Twitter is an information network made up of 140-character messages from all over the world. People write short updates, often called "Tweets". These messages are posted to their profile or blog and sent to followers. The Meteosphaere Twitter-Bot (@meteosphaere) is a program that automatically responds to @ messages sent to it posting direct messages with a weather forecast for any location in Germany.

In order to interpret instructions correctly, the @ messages must be constructed as follows:

@meteosphaere Wetter WHERE or @meteosphaere Wetter WHEN WHERE

@meteosphaere Wetter [When: heute | morgen | übermorgen] Where: hier | in PLZ | in Stadt

Bot-command examples:
@meteosphaere Wetter hier
@meteosphaere Wetter in Berlin
@meteosphaere Wetter in 10115
@meteosphaere Wetter heute in Berlin
@meteosphaere Wetter morgen in 10115
@meteosphaere Wetter übermorgen hier


Help-command:
@meteosphaere Help

Important! If in the command the location specified as "hier", the geotagging must be enabled.
