php src/MetaWeather.php

This script will interact with two endpoints of the same API. The first one, which is needed for getting the id of a location, has the following JSON structure:

[
    {
        "title": "Barcelona",
        "location_type": "City",
        "woeid": 753692,
        "latt_long": "41.385578,2.168740"
    }
]

The second one, where you need the woeid parameter from the last API response, has the following JSON structure:
