Installation

pip install pyopenuv

Python Versions

pyopenuv is currently supported on:

• Python 3.10
• Python 3.11
• Python 3.12

API Key

You can get an API key from the OpenUV console.

Usage

import asyncio

from pyopenuv import Client
from pyopenuv.errors import OpenUvError


async def main():
    client = Client(
        "<OPENUV_API_KEY>", "<LATITUDE>", "<LONGITUDE>", altitude="<ALTITUDE>"
    )

    try:
        # Get the current status of the OpenUV API:
        print(await client.api_status())
        # >>> True

        # Get current UV info:
        print(await client.uv_index())
        # >>> { "result": { ... } }

        # Get forecasted UV info:
        print(await client.uv_forecast())
        # >>> { "result": { ... } }

        # Get UV protection window:
        print(await client.uv_protection_window())
        # >>> { "result": { ... } }

        # Get API usage info/statistics:
        print(await client.api_statistics())
        # >>> { "result": { ... } }
    except OpenUvError as err:
        print(f"There was an error: {err}")


asyncio.run(main())

Checking API Status Before Requests

If you would prefer to not call api_status manually, you can configure the Client object to automatically check the status of the OpenUV API before executing any of the API methods—simply pass the check_status_before_request parameter:

import asyncio

from pyopenuv import Client
from pyopenuv.errors import ApiUnavailableError, OpenUvError


async def main():
    client = Client(
        "<OPENUV_API_KEY>",
        "<LATITUDE>",
        "<LONGITUDE>",
        altitude="<ALTITUDE>",
        check_status_before_request=True,
    )

    try:
        print(await client.uv_index())
    except ApiUnavailableError:
        print("The API is unavailable")
    except OpenUvError as err:
        print(f"There was an error: {err}")


asyncio.run(main())

Connection Pooling

By default, the library creates a new connection to OpenUV with each coroutine. If you are calling a large number of coroutines (or merely want to squeeze out every second of runtime savings possible), an aiohttp ClientSession can be used for connection pooling:

import asyncio

from aiohttp import ClientSession
from pyopenuv import Client
from pyopenuv.errors import OpenUvError


async def main():
    async with ClientSession() as session:
        client = Client(
            "<OPENUV_API_KEY>",
            "<LATITUDE>",
            "<LONGITUDE>",
            altitude="<ALTITUDE>",
            session=session,
        )

        try:
            print(await client.uv_index())
        except OpenUvError as err:
            print(f"There was an error: {err}")


asyncio.run(main())
