Open Weather PWS API

Simple python wrapper around Open Weather PWS API

Requirements

You need API key to use it. You can get it for free: https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys

Usage

Import Station class, which contains all api methods:

from openweather_pws import Station

Station

Register new station:

pws = Station(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY')
station_id = pws.register(external_id='YOUR_STATION_EXTERNAL_ID', 
                          name='YOUR STATION LONG NAME', 
                          latitude='44.419181',
                          longitude='38.205109', 
                          altitude='70') # altitude in meters
# If you plan to use pws class further, please note that 
# station_id will be stored as default station_id of class.
# Note: always use different external_id for each station! 

Get info about the station:

pws = Station(api_key=api_key)
pws.info(station_id='YOUR_STATION_ID')

Or, when station_id is set:

pws = Station(api_key=api_key, station_id='YOUR_STATION_ID')
# if you iniatilize Station class with station_id param, 
# it will be used as default in all API call, if another is not specified

You can set/change station_id any time you want:

pws.set_station_id(station_id)

Update station info:

pws.update(station_id, external_id, name, latitude, longitude, altitude)

Delete station:

pws.delete(station_id)

Get all stations info

pws.all_stations() # will return all stations registered by user in list

Measurements

Measurements can be accessed via Station class:

pws.measurements.%method% 

or directly, if needed:

from openweather_pws import Measurements

meas = Measurements(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY', station_id='YOUR_STATION_ID')  # station_is optional

Also, you can set/change station_id any time you want:

meas.set_station_id(station_id) 

To obtain list of measurements from station:

measurements = pws.meas.get(station_id, meas_type, limit, time_from, time_to)
# all params are optional
# by default will be used default station_id, hourly data (24 measurements)
# refer to: https://openweathermap.org/stations#get_measurements

Get only one measurement:

measurement = pws.meas.get_one(station_id, meas_type, time_from, time_to)
# all params are optional
# by default will be used default station_id and hourly data, 1 measurement

Send data of one measurement to PWS:

pws.meas.set(dt, station_id, temperature, wind_speed, wind_gust, wind_deg,
        pressure, humidity, rain_1h, rain_6h, rain_24h, snow_1h, snow_6h,
        snow_24h, dew_point, humidex, heat_index, visibility_distance,
        visibility_prefix, clouds, weather)
# all params are optional
# by default will be used default station_id, dt is current time in unixtime format
# refer to: https://openweathermap.org/stations#measurement

Send bulk data of PWS you'll need to prepare list with dicts and send it via:

pws.meas.set_bulk(payload)
