URL manipulation for weather rest api

Hi I'm trying to figure out how to change the city, based on the current location.Is there a way I can manipulate "{city}"? This is probably a really easy question. As of current, my app is aware of device location but I don't know how to manipulate the url. Should I use a different api?

interface ApiService {

    @GET("weather/{city}")
    suspend fun getWeather():Response<Weather> 
}
Solution

  • You can use @Path for this.

    For example:

    @GET("weather/{city}")
suspend fun getWeather(@Path("city") val city: String):Response<Weather>

    Now, when you call the function. Pass the string to dynamically update "city".
