Usage

Direct Execution

# Show version
tap-openmeteo --version

# Show help
tap-openmeteo --help

# Discover streams
tap-openmeteo --config config.json --discover > catalog.json

# Run sync
tap-openmeteo --config config.json --catalog catalog.json

With Meltano

Add to your meltano.yml:

plugins:
  extractors:
    - name: tap-openmeteo
      namespace: tap_openmeteo
      pip_url: git+https://github.com/celine-eu/tap-openmeteo.git
      config:
        locations:
          - name: Berlin
            latitude: 52.52
            longitude: 13.41
        forecast_days: 7
        hourly_variables:
          - temperature_2m
          - precipitation
          - weather_code

Run the pipeline:

meltano run tap-openmeteo target-jsonl

Incremental Sync

The tap supports incremental syncing for efficient data updates:

• Hourly/Daily/Historical streams: Use timestamp-based replication keys
• State tracking: Maintains sync state between runs
• Configurable lookback: Use past_days to include recent historical data

Weather Models

Open-Meteo combines data from multiple national weather services. You can either:

1. Use automatic selection (default): Best models are selected for each location
2. Specify models: Set models config to use specific weather models

Available models include:

• ecmwf_ifs025 - ECMWF IFS (global)
• gfs_seamless - NOAA GFS (global)
• icon_seamless - DWD ICON (Europe)
• meteofrance_seamless - Météo-France
• jma_seamless - JMA (Japan)
• gem_seamless - GEM (Canada)
• And many more regional models

API Key (Commercial Use)

For commercial use:

1. Get an API key from Open-Meteo pricing
2. Set api_key in your configuration
3. Use api_url: https://customer-api.open-meteo.com

Free tier is available for non-commercial use without an API key.
