Currently to configure the New Zealand Metservice day and weather bundle, we must manually enter keys associated with the desired location to obtain information for. For example Wellington maps to a "riseSet" called "93434M". The mapping is provided via a JavaScript file on a public URL, e.g. http://www.metservice.com/assets/js/data/towns-and-cities-2.3.12.js.
Instead of making a person download the JavaScript file and look for the data manually, we could implement support for automatically parsing the JavaScript to extract the available locations and their associated mapping information. For example we could present a menu of location choices to the user, who then wouldn't need to enter any other information.
