In remote areas where cellular 3G connectivity is more difficult to come by, it is often difficult to perform quick online lookups; one example being looking up the short-term weather to inform hiking decisions.
This is a simple client intended to be deployed as a Twilio SMS webhook that performs quick lookups based on a textual query. Backed by an AWS Lambda function, this allows the user to offload the desired network request to a serverless platform.
