pygoogleweather 0.1.8

Python library to get weather from Google Search. No API keys required.

pygoogleweather

pygoogleweather is a Python library to get weather information from Google Search. No API keys required.

Features

• Fetch current weather information for any city
• Supports multiple languages
• Convert temperature units between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin
• Get wind speed in km/h or mph
• Reliable web scraping using Playwright

Installation

1. Install the library using pip:

pip install pygoogleweather

2. Install Playwright's browser (required):

playwright install chromium

Usage

Basic Usage (Regular Python Environment)

import asyncio
from google_weather.weather import WeatherScraper

async def main():
    # Create a scraper instance
    scraper = WeatherScraper()

    # Get weather for a city
    result = await scraper.get_weather('Buenos Aires')
    print(result)
    # {'temperature': '24.0°C', 'humidity': '72%', 'wind': '34 kmh', 'condition': 'Mayormente soleado', 'location': 'Buenos Aires, Argentina'}

# Run the async function
asyncio.run(main())

Custom Options

async def main():
    scraper = WeatherScraper()
    
    # Get weather in Italian with Fahrenheit and mph
    result = await scraper.get_weather(
        'Buenos Aires', 
        lang='it',
        temp_unit='F',
        wind_unit='mph'
    )
    print(result)
    # {'temperature': '75.2°F', 'humidity': '72%', 'wind': '21 mph', 'condition': 'Per lo più soleggiato', 'location': 'Buenos Aires, Argentina'}

asyncio.run(main())

Using in Google Colab

The library provides a special client for Google Colab that handles all the async complexity for you:

# Install
!pip install pygoogleweather
!playwright install chromium

# Import and use
from google_weather.colab import ColabWeatherClient

# Create client
weather = ColabWeatherClient()

# Get weather data
result = weather.get_weather('New York', lang='en')
print(result)
# {'location': 'New York', 'temperature': '19.4°F', 'condition': 'Sunny', 'humidity': '57%', 'wind': '2 mph'}

# With custom units
result = weather.get_weather(
    'Paris',
    lang='fr',
    temp_unit='C',
    wind_unit='kmh'
)
print(result)
# {'location': 'Paris', 'temperature': '9.0°C', 'condition': 'Nuageux', 'humidity': '85%', 'wind': '6 km/h'}

Debug Mode

You can enable debug mode to save screenshots during scraping:

scraper = WeatherScraper(debug=True)  # Screenshots will be saved in 'debug_screenshots' directory

Options

The WeatherScraper class accepts these parameters:

• headless (bool): Run browser in headless mode (default: True)
• debug (bool): Enable debug mode with screenshots (default: False)

The get_weather method accepts:

• city (str): City name
• lang (str): Language code (default: 'en')
• temp_unit (str): Temperature unit ('C', 'F', or 'K', default: 'C')
• wind_unit (str): Wind speed unit ('kmh' or 'mph', default: 'kmh')

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• Playwright
• Chromium browser (installed via playwright install)
• nest-asyncio (for Google Colab usage)
