yr-weather is an API wrapper for some of the products from MET's API. To see an example on how these APIs can be used, take a look at Yr, made by MET and NRK.

Installing

To use yr-weather, simply install it using pip.

For Windows:

Getting started

To get started, check out the documentation.

For specific API Products, check their separate section on the documentation:

• Locationforecast
• Radar
• Textforecast
• Sunrise
• Geosatellite

For the best developer experience, all functions and classes are typed and documented with docstrings.

Caching

By default, the library makes a cache file named yr_cache.sqlite in the working directory. To disable caching, set use_cache to False like so:

yr_weather.Locationforecast(headers=headers, use_cache=False)

MET's Terms of Service encourage using caching to avoid extra load on the network. Therefore, disabling caching and not implementing it yourself is not recommended.
