This package allows you to query Wolfram Alpha from within Emacs. It is required to get a WolframAlpha Developer AppID in order to use this package. - Create an account at https://developer.wolframalpha.com/portal/signin.html. - Once you sign in with the Wolfram ID at https://developer.wolframalpha.com/portal/myapps/, click on "Get an AppID" to get your Wolfram API or AppID. - Follow the steps where you put in your app name and description, and you will end up with an AppID that looks like "ABCDEF-GHIJKLMNOP", where few of those characters could be numbers too. - Set the custom variable `wolfram-alpha-app-id' to that AppID. To make a query, run `M-x wolfram-alpha' then type your query. It will show the results in a buffer called `*WolframAlpha*'.
