OpenWeatherMap.org API wrapper

Project description

VERY basic start for a OpenWeatherMap.org API client.

Frankly, it as been written rather to test how Python modules are distributed. :)

Install

pip install openweather

Python module example

import openweather
from datetime import datetime

# create client
ow = openweather.OpenWeather()

# find weather stations near me
stations = ow.find_stations_near(
    7.0,  # longitude
    50.0, # latitude
    100   # kilometer radius
)

# iterate results
for station in stations:
    print station

# get current weather at Cologne/Bonn airport
# (station id = 4885)
print ow.get_weather(4885)

# historic weather
start_date = datetime(2013, 09, 10)
end_date = datetime(2013, 09, 15)

# default: hourly interval
print ow.get_historic_weather(4885, start_date, end_date)

# raw data (resolution = "tick")
print ow.get_historic_weather(4885, start_date, end_date, "tick")

# daily aggregates
print ow.get_historic_weather(4885, start_date, end_date, "day")

Command line client example

Print current weather at station ID 4885:

$ openweather -s 4885

Print historic weather at station ID 4885:

$ openweather -s 4885 --historic

Print historic weather for 2013-10-01 at station ID 4885:

$ openweather -s 4885 --historic --date 20131001

For valid formats of the --date parameter, see daterangestr.

Print historic data in CSV format

$ python openweather.py -s 4885 --historic --date 20131022 --csv

This is particularly usefull if you want to store that data to a file…

$ openweather -s 4885 --historic --date 20131022 --csv > weather.csv

… or want to manipulate and display it (using csvkit):

$ openweather -s 4885 --historic --date 20131027 --csv|csvcut -c 9,26,30,35,43|csvlook
