Worldtimepy
v0.1.1
Worldtime-py is a Python wrapper for . It is able to search through the endpoints of the API to find the closest location if the exact one could not be found. It reduces the strain and the difficulty of getting the time for the location desired.
is a JSON API for obtaining the current time in, and related data about, a timezone. It gives data suh as the UTC offset, whether that timezone is in Daylight Savings Time (DST), offset, etc.
Installing
This library can be installed by using pip install worldtimepy
. Doing so will automatically install all requirements.
Requirements
This library requires you to have , , and . All of those can be installed using pip
.
Using the wrapper
class worldtime.WorldTime()
This is the main class through which you should interact with the API.
.locations
Has all existing locations from WorldtimeAPI.
return list
.from_ip(ip: str='') -> TimeInfo
optional argument: ip
Takes an IP and returns a corresponding TimeInfo object with timezone information for that IP. If no IP is provided, it will use the requesting IP.
return TimeInfo
.find_by_name(name: str) -> list
Takes a string and returns a list of strings for all locations that contain that name.
return list
.search(name: str) -> str
Takes a country name or a city name and tries to find it in the database. It returns a string that can be used by get_location()
.
Warning: This function iterates through different databases to try and locate the query. It may be slow.
return string
.get_location(location: str) -> object
Takes a proper location taken from search
or find_by_name
and returns a TimeInfo object.
return TimeInfo
.refresh()
Gathers new data for self.locations
.
No return
class timeinfo.TimeInfo(to_get=0, ip: bool=False)
This class takes a location found through one of the other methods and makes an object with information for that timezone.
You can use any location from worldtime.WorldTime().locations here.
Alternatively, if you set ip to True, you may provide an IPv4 address on to_get to get time information for that IP. If ip is set to True and nothing is given to to_get, the machine's IP will be used.
Printing or turning this object into a string returns a prettier string containing time information.
