mars-weather-api 0.1.1

This is a wrapper for the NASA InSight API.

mars_weather_api

This is a Python wrapper for NASA's InSight Mars Weather Service API. It allows users to fetch and display weather data from Mars, including temperature details. Please note that the API can only access weather data for the last 7 sols (Martian days) that the InSight lander was active.

Usage

To use the mars_weather_api, first import the library and initialize it:

from mars_weather_api import MarsWeatherAPI

# Initialize the API wrapper
api = MarsWeatherAPI(api_key="your_nasa_api_key")

# Fetch and print weather data for the last 7 sols
api.print_week()

# Fetch and print weather data for a specific sol
api.print_day(day=3)

# Retrieve temperature data only
temps = api.get_temps_only()
print(temps)

Installation

$ python -m pip install mars_weather_api

Features

• Fetch weather data for a specific sol (Martian day).
• Retrieve weather data for the last 7 sols.
• Extract temperature details (average, minimum, maximum) for each sol.
• Easy-to-use Python interface with formatted output.

Requirements

• Python 3.7 or higher
• An active NASA API key (you can get one here).
