Simple and free accuweather API

Their free api only offers up to 50 calls per day, so this script will provide unlimited calls for the same (or more) information. Caches search queries.

Installation

1. in terminal

git clone https://github.com/Hecker5556/accuweather_api

pip install -r requirements.txt

I used python 3.10.9

Usage

import asyncio
info = asyncio.run(accuweather_api().search("columbia, south carolina"))

async def main():
    info = await accuweather_api("mycache.json").search("columbia, south carolina")

Extra information

Accuweather's search api doesn't support states, so if you want to grab south carolina for example you'll need to specify a specific city
