Python client library for Weather API

1.0.0
PyPI

Maintainers: 1

Getting started

Introduction

WeatherAPI.com provides access to weather and geo data via a JSON/XML restful API. It allows developers to create desktop, web and mobile applications using this data very easy.

We provide following data through our API:

Real-time weather
10 day weather forecast
Astronomy
Time zone
Location data
Search or Autocomplete API
NEW: Historical weather

Getting Started

You need to signup and then you can find your API key under your account, and start using API right away!

If you find any features missing or have any suggestions, please contact us.

Authentication

API access to the data is protected by an API key. If at anytime, you find the API key has become vulnerable, please regenerate the key using Regenerate button next to the API key.

Authentication to the WeatherAPI.com API is provided by passing your API key as request parameter through an API .

key parameter

key=YOUR_API_KEY

How to Build

You must have Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4 installed on your system to install and run this SDK. This SDK package depends on other Python packages like nose, jsonpickle etc. These dependencies are defined in the requirements.txt file that comes with the SDK. To resolve these dependencies, you can use the PIP Dependency manager. Install it by following steps at https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/.

Python and PIP executables should be defined in your PATH. Open command prompt and type pip --version. This should display the version of the PIP Dependency Manager installed if your installation was successful and the paths are properly defined.

Using command line, navigate to the directory containing the generated files (including requirements.txt) for the SDK.
Run the command pip install -r requirements.txt. This should install all the required dependencies.

Building SDK - Step 1

How to Use

The following section explains how to use the Weatherapi SDK package in a new project.

1. Open Project in an IDE

Open up a Python IDE like PyCharm. The basic workflow presented here is also applicable if you prefer using a different editor or IDE.

Open project in PyCharm - Step 1

Click on Open in PyCharm to browse to your generated SDK directory and then click OK.

Open project in PyCharm - Step 2

The project files will be displayed in the side bar as follows:

Open project in PyCharm - Step 3

2. Add a new Test Project

Create a new directory by right clicking on the solution name as shown below:

Add a new project in PyCharm - Step 1

Name the directory as "test"

Add a new project in PyCharm - Step 2

Add a python file to this project with the name "testsdk"

Add a new project in PyCharm - Step 3

Name it "testsdk"

Add a new project in PyCharm - Step 4

In your python file you will be required to import the generated python library using the following code lines

from weatherapi.weatherapi_client import WeatherapiClient

Add a new project in PyCharm - Step 4

After this you can write code to instantiate an API client object, get a controller object and make API calls. Sample code is given in the subsequent sections.

3. Run the Test Project

To run the file within your test project, right click on your Python file inside your Test project and click on Run

Run Test Project - Step 1

How to Test

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

From terminal/cmd navigate to the root directory of the SDK.
Invoke pip install -r test-requirements.txt
Invoke nosetests

Initialization

Authentication

In order to setup authentication and initialization of the API client, you need the following information.
