Classes
There are two classes implemented in this module.
AmbientAPI
This is the base API that you initialize in your code.
from ambient_api.ambientapi import AmbientAPI
import time
api = AmbientAPI()
This class takes care of authenticating to, and sending calls to the API. It can be expanded as needed in the future.
AmbientWeatherStation
This class represents a single Weather Station. When you ask AmbientAPI for a list of devices, it returns a list of AmbientWeatherStations, and from this class, you can query the weather station itself.
devices = api.get_devices()
device = devices[0]
time.sleep(1) #pause for a second to avoid API limits
print(device.get_data())
