Installation

1. Install the package using pip:

pip install django-owm

1. Add 'django_owm' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'django_owm',
]

Configuration

Add the following settings to your Django project's settings.py file:

DJANGO_OWM = {
    'OWM_API_KEY': 'your_openweathermap_api_key',
    'OWM_API_RATE_LIMITS': {
        'one_call': {
            'calls_per_minute': 60,
            'calls_per_month': 1000000,
        },
    },
    'OWM_MODEL_MAPPINGS': {
        'WeatherLocation': 'your_app.WeatherLocation',
        'CurrentWeather': 'your_app.CurrentWeather',
        'MinutelyWeather': 'your_app.MinutelyWeather',
        'HourlyWeather': 'your_app.HourlyWeather',
        'DailyWeather': 'your_app.DailyWeather',
        'WeatherAlert': 'your_app.WeatherAlert',
        'WeatherErrorLog': 'your_app.WeatherErrorLog',
        'APICallLog': 'your_app.APICallLog',
    },

    'OWM_USE_BUILTIN_ADMIN': True,
    'OWM_SHOW_MAP': False,
    'OWM_USE_UUID': False,
}

Replace 'your_openweathermap_api_key' with your actual OpenWeatherMap API key, and adjust the model mappings to point to your custom model implementations if you're not using the default models.

See the Usage Reference for more details.

Migrate Database

Run migrations to create the necessary database tables:

python manage.py migrate

Quick Start

1. Create a new weather location:

python manage.py create_location

1. Fetch weather data for all locations:

python manage.py manual_weather_fetch

1. View the weather data in the Django admin interface or use the provided views to display the information in your templates.

Customization

Models

You can customize the models used by django-owm by creating your own models that inherit from the abstract base models provided by the app. Update the OWM_MODEL_MAPPINGS in your settings to use your custom models.

Views and Templates

django-owm provides basic views and templates for displaying weather information. You can override these templates by creating your own templates with the same names in your project's template directory.

Celery Tasks

To set up automated weather data fetching, configure Celery in your project and add the following task to your CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE:

CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE = {
    'fetch_weather_data': {
        'task': 'django_owm.tasks.fetch_weather',
        'schedule': crontab(minute='*/30'),  # Run every 30 minutes
    },
}
