PyWeatherKit 0.0.4

A Python wrapper for the WeatherKit API

PyWeatherKit

A simple Python wrapper for Apple's WeatherKit REST API.

You need an Apple developer account to use this library and you should first follow the setup instructions in their documentation.

It has a simple interface for retrieving a raw dictionary of weather data from the API, and a method for retrieving simplified daily forecasts as Pythonic objects. Pull requests are welcome!

Install

pip install pyweatherkit

Simple Forecast Usage

from weatherkit.client import WKClient 
client = WKClient("YOUR TEAM ID", "YOUR SERVICE ID", "YOUR KEY ID", "PATH TO YOUR PRIVATE KEY FILE")
forecast = client.get_simple_forecast(latitude, longitude)
for day in forecast:
    print(f"{day.day_of_week}: {day.daytime_icon} with a high of {round(day.temperature_high)} and a low of {round(day.temperature_low)}")

Assuming you input all of the correct client authentication parameters and a valid latitude and longitude, this should result in something like:

Thursday: 🌤️ with a high of 38 and a low of 23
Friday: 🌧️ with a high of 45 and a low of 22
Saturday: 🌧️ with a high of 67 and a low of 40
...

Pulling Full Data Sets

from weatherkit.client import WKClient 
client = WKClient("YOUR TEAM ID", "YOUR SERVICE ID", "YOUR KEY ID", "PATH TO YOUR PRIVATE KEY FILE")
res = client.get_weather(44.50572, -73.24026)

You can also specify the language of the response, the timezone, and the specific datasets you need.

Historical Data Pull

Only available from dates after 08/01/2021 (as of 2023-03-23)

from weatherkit.client import WKClient
from datetime import datetime

# Set dates 
dailyStart = datetime.strptime("2022-11-29", "%Y-%m-%d")
dailyEnd = datetime.strptime("2022-11-30", "%Y-%m-%d")
currentAsOf = datetime.strptime("2022-11-29", "%Y-%m-%d")

client = WKClient("YOUR TEAM ID", "YOUR SERVICE ID", "YOUR KEY ID", "PATH TO YOUR PRIVATE KEY FILE")
res = client.get_weather(44.50572, -73.24026, dailyStart=dailyStart, dailyEnd=dailyEnd, currentAsOf=currentAsOf)
