lagrunge82-test-sdk 0.2

Python SDK for accessing OpenWeatherMap API

ApiClient Class Description

Installation:

pip install lagrunge82-test-sdk

Features:

• Retrieve weather information for specified cities.
• Support for two operation modes: "on-demand" and "polling".

Operation Modes:

• "On-demand":
  • The SDK updates weather information only upon user request.
  • Suitable for applications where weather information is not critical and does not require instant updates.
• "Polling":
  • The SDK periodically requests new weather information for all stored locations to have zero latency response to user requests.
  • Suitable for applications where quick access to up-to-date weather information is required.

Usage:

from openweather_sdk.api_client import ApiClient

# Create an API client instance with your API key
api_client = ApiClient("YOUR_API_KEY", mode='on-demand')

# Get weather data for a city
weather_data = api_client.get_weather("London")

# Access weather information
print(f"Temperature: {weather_data['main']['temp']}")

Additional Features:

• Data caching:

  • The SDK caches received weather data to reduce the number of API requests.
  • The default Time-to-Live (TTL) is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
  • You can change the TTL if needed.

• Geocoding:

  • The SDK determines geographic coordinates by city name.

• Error handling:

  • The SDK handles errors that occur when interacting with the API.
  • You can get error information and handle it according to your requirements.

# Get weather data for 5 cities
cities = ["London", "Paris", "Berlin", "New York", "Tokyo"]

for city in cities:
    try:
        weather_data = api_client.get_weather(city)
        print(f"Weather data for {city}:")
        print(weather_data)
    except APIException as e:
        print(f"Error getting weather data for {city}:")
        print(e.message)

Other features:

• Multithreading:
  • The SDK can perform requests to the OpenWeatherMap API in multithreaded mode, which can improve performance.
