measure-space-api 0.1.3

A Python wrapper for the APIs of MeasureSpace.io

Measure Space API Python Package

A Python package for accessing weather, climate, air quality, and geocoding APIs provided by MeasureSpace.io.

Features

• Get hourly and daily weather forecasts
• Get daily climate forecasts
• Get hourly and daily air quality forecasts
• Geocoding: convert city names to coordinates and vice versa
• Unified API call interface with flexible parameters

Installation

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

pip install -e .

Or install from PyPI:

pip install measure-space-api

Usage

Get Weather, Climate and Air Quality Variables

Import the package and call the functions:

from measure_space_api import (
    get_hourly_weather, get_daily_weather, get_daily_climate,
    get_hourly_air_quality, get_daily_air_quality,
    get_lat_lon_from_city, get_city_from_lat_lon
)

# Example: Get hourly weather by coordinates
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
params = {
    # Variable names and meaning can be found at https://measurespace.io/documentation#global-hourly-weather-forecast-variables
    "variables": "tp,t2m",
    "unit": "metric"
}
df = get_hourly_weather(api_key, latitude=40.2, longitude=110.2, params=params, return_json=False)
print(df.head())

# Example: Get hourly weather by city name
geocoding_api_key = "YOUR_GEOCODING_API_KEY"
df = get_hourly_weather(api_key, geocoding_api_key, location_name="Beijing", params=params, return_json=False)
print(df.head())

Get City Coordinates

from measure_space_api.main import get_lat_lon_from_city
lat, lon = get_lat_lon_from_city(geocoding_api_key, "Shanghai")
print(lat, lon)

Use Environment Variables

You may use a .env file to store your API keys and load them with python-dotenv.

HOURLY_WEATHER_API_KEY=your_hourly_weather_key
DAILY_WEATHER_API_KEY=your_daily_weather_key
DAILY_CLIMATE_API_KEY=your_daily_climate_key
AIR_QUALITY_API_KEY=your_air_quality_key
GEOCODING_API_KEY=your_geocoding_key

Call API using API keys from .env file.

from measure_space_api import (
    get_hourly_weather, get_daily_weather, get_daily_climate,
    get_hourly_air_quality, get_daily_air_quality,
    get_lat_lon_from_city, get_city_from_lat_lon
)
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os

# Load environment variables from .env file
load_dotenv()
# Example: Get hourly weather by coordinates
params = {
    # Variable names and meaning can be found at https://measurespace.io/documentation#global-hourly-weather-forecast-variables
    "variables": "tp,t2m",
    "unit": "metric"
}
df = get_hourly_weather(HOURLY_WEATHER_API_KEY, latitude=40.2, longitude=110.2, params=params, return_json=False)
print(df.head())

API Functions

Weather and Climate

• get_hourly_weather(api_key, geocoding_api_key=None, location_name=None, latitude=None, longitude=None, params={'variables': 'tp, t2m', 'unit': 'metric'}, return_json=True)
• get_daily_weather(api_key, geocoding_api_key=None, location_name=None, latitude=None, longitude=None, params={'variables': 'tp, minT, maxT', 'unit': 'metric'}, return_json=True)
• get_daily_climate(api_key, geocoding_api_key=None, location_name=None, latitude=None, longitude=None, params={'variables': 'tp, tmin, tmax', 'unit': 'metric'}, return_json=True)

Air Quality

• get_hourly_air_quality(api_key, geocoding_api_key=None, location_name=None, latitude=None, longitude=None, params={'variables': 'AQI, DP'}, return_json=True)
• get_daily_air_quality(api_key, geocoding_api_key=None, location_name=None, latitude=None, longitude=None, params={'variables': 'AQI'}, return_json=True)

Geocoding

• get_lat_lon_from_city(api_key, location_name)
• get_city_from_lat_lon(api_key, latitude, longitude)

Parameters

• api_key: Your API key for the weather/climate/air quality service
• geocoding_api_key: (Optional) API key for geocoding service
• location_name: (Optional) City name (e.g., "New York", "Beijing, China")
• latitude, longitude: (Optional) Coordinates
• params: (Optional) Dictionary of additional API parameters (e.g., variables, units, local_flag)
• return_json: If True, returns JSON; if False, returns a pandas DataFrame
