NWS

NWS

A module that uses the National Weather Service's API to get weather data meaning no need for an account, or API token.

Important

This program is not responsible if weather data is innacurate, nor should you rely on this program for emergency weather alerts!

Install

pip install NWS

Setup

Everyscript must start with the initiate API function. This requires you to put your applications name and a email to contact you. This is recommended by the national weather service for a better experience, but you can use the BypassInitiate function to skip this.

Example on how to Initiate API

import NWSweather as weather

#Location of NOAA headquarters in Washington DC
latitude = "38.89355704224317"
longitude = "-77.033268223003"

weather.InitiateAPI("AppName", "Email")
print(weather.GetCurrentTemperature(latitude, longitude))

Example on how to Bypass API

import NWSweather as weather

#Location of NOAA headquarters in Washington DC
latitude = "38.89355704224317"
longitude = "-77.033268223003"

weather.BypassInitiate()
print(weather.GetCurrentTemperature(latitude, longitude))

#Documentation This is all the functions avaiable to you
