Python Wrapper for WeatherBit API

This module communicates with WeatherBit.io using their REST API. The module is only supporting the Free Tier API's, for which there is more information here.

For the Free Tier, data can be retrieved for the following:

• Current Conditions
• Forecast Data - Daily data.
• Severe Weather Alerts

It will require an API Key to work, which can be retrieved for free at Weatherbit

The module is primarily written for the purpose of being used in Home Assistant for the Custom Integration called weatherbit but might be used for other purposes also.

Install

pyweatherbitdata is avaible on PyPi:

pip install pyweatherbitdata

Usage

This library is primarily designed to be used in an async context.

The main interface for the library is the pyweatherbitdata.WeatherBitApiClient. This interface takes 7 options:

• api_key: (required) A Personal API Key retrieved from WeatherBit (See above).
• latitude: (required) Latitude of the location needing data from.
• longitude: (required) Longitude of the location needing data from.
• units: (optional) Valid options here are metric or imperial. This module is set to always retrieve data in metric units, so conversion of values will only take place if if metric is not selected. Default value is metric
• language: (optional) The language for all text values retrieved from WeatherBit. Default is en
• homeassistant: (optional) Valid options are True or False. If set to True, there will be some unit types that will not be converted, as Home Assistant will take care of that. Default value is True
