To receive data from the OpenUV API account on the OpenUV page needs to be created. 50 requests per day are free of charge, additional requests are billable. Once the account is created, you can click the Get API key to get the API key for receiving data. API key needs to be pasted under API key in bOS example. Using the map on the web page, locate your current location.
Below the map both latitude and longitude values can be used to import them into bOS Latitude and Longitude. Once API key, longitude and latitude values are imported into bOS, run the All data request function and API data should be filled out. In the example all data comes from the OpenUV API. Every HTTP request can be tweaked to provide more and correct info regarding UV values of your current location. Custom panel was also created, allowing users to select their skin type, which will then calculate an estimate risk of skin injury.
