accuweather-client

AccuWeather

A python library to interact with the accuweather api.

General information

The functionality that makes this package unique is the integration of the location client within the weather client. Specifying location by city name (and country optionally) is a more user-friendly way to interact with the api.

Before you start

You need to create an api token on the AccuWeather website (https://developer.accuweather.com).

How to use the package

""""Some code to show the functionality of the package"""

from accuweather_client.clients import WeatherClient

# Create an instance of the WeatherClient class, a regular search
weather = WeatherClient(token=API_KEY, city="sydney")
# Provides information about the location
weather.location

# In the example above, the selected location is Sydney, Australia

# the addition of the country parameter
weather = WeatherClient(token=API_KEY, city="sydney", country="canada")
weather.location

# Create an instance of the WeatherClient class, POI search
weather = WeatherClient(token=API_KEY, poi="Eiffel tower")
weather.location

# Create an instance of the WeatherClient class, lat lon search
weather = WeatherClient(token=API_KEY, lat=51.988, lon=-4.88)
weather.location

# Creates an object that yields forecast information
forecast = weather.get_5day_forecast()
# Prints the forecast for tomorrow
forecast.forecast_tomorrow
# Returns a pandas df with forecast information
forecast_df = forecast.to_pandas_df()

# Creates an object that yields hourly forcast information
