apimatic-open-weather-sdk

Getting Started with OpenWeatherMap

Introduction

Get the current weather, daily forecast for 16 days, and a three-hour-interval forecast for 5 days for your city. Helpful stats, graphics, and this day in history charts are available for your reference. Interactive maps show precipitation, clouds, pressure, wind around your location stations. Data is available in JSON, XML, or HTML format. Note: This sample Swagger file covers the current endpoint only from the OpenWeatherMap API.

Note: All parameters are optional, but you must select at least one parameter. Calling the API by city ID (using the id parameter) will provide the most precise location results.

Install the Package

The package is compatible with Python versions 3.7+. Install the package from PyPi using the following pip command:

pip install apimatic-open-weather-sdk==1.0.0

You can also view the package at: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/apimatic-open-weather-sdk/1.0.0

Test the SDK

You can test the generated SDK and the server with test cases. unittest is used as the testing framework and pytest is used as the test runner. You can run the tests as follows:

Navigate to the root directory of the SDK and run the following commands

pip install -r test-requirements.txt pytest

    environment=Environment.PRODUCTION
)
