Installing

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

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, this feature is not recommended.

Future objectives (TODOs)

• Add Read the Docs documentation
• Add further features from MET's API
• Improve support for earlier Python versions
