Weather Monitor

This is a lightweight Flask API to create weather alerts for subscribed topics. The current metrics as an example are:

{
    "tempCelsiusAbove": 18,
    "tempCelsiusBelow": 2,
    "weatherCodeEquals": 800,
    "windSpeedExceeds": 35,
}

I've added an endpoint at /api/v1/get_weather_codes that will return the list of available weather codes. An example response is:

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/v1/get_weather_codes

{
  "clear": 800,
  "clouds": 801,
  "drizzle": 300,
  "rain": 500,
  "snow": 600,
  "thunderstorm": 200,
  "tornado": 781
}

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9

Getting Started

To install dependencies and start the server in development mode:

make start
pip install poetry
poetry install
python app.py

The server will now be running on an available port (defaulting to 5000).

http://127.0.0.1:5000/apidocs

The local.env file needs to be populated with suitable credentials to connect to a mysql database, OpenWeatherMap API & OpenCage API. I used AWS RDS to create a mysql database for this project. The security group is set to public, so if needed email me at: cradams@hotmail.co.uk and I can set you up with it.

Otherwise I have added a docker-compose.yml file to set this up locally.

You can run the tests with:

pytest

To update the environment variables locally:

make dev_export
