fast_free_weather

A simple Python package to fetch weather data using the free Open-Meteo API (no API key required).

Installation

pip install fast_free_weather

Usage

from weather_fetch import WeatherFetch

wf = WeatherFetch()  # no API key needed for Open-Meteo
weather = wf.get_weather("Dhaka")  # defaults to metric units

print(weather["temperature"])
print(weather["description"])

Note: the PyPI package is fast_free_weather, but you import it as weather_fetch.

Units

• metric for Celsius (default)
• imperial for Fahrenheit
• standard treated the same as metric

Testing

python -m pip install -e .
python -m pip install pytest
pytest

The tests mock the HTTP calls; no real API calls are made, so they run offline.

Notes

• Uses a 10-second timeout and raises ValueError on request or parsing errors.
• Relies on Open-Meteo geocoding to resolve city names to coordinates; ensure the city can be found.
