This package provides a client wrapper for the Admiralty Tidal API endpoints.
pip install ukhotides
To call the API you will need an API key from the Admiralty Maritime Data Solutions developer portal. Follow their guide on how to do so and select one of the UK Tidal API products - the Discovery tier is free (the paid APIs have not been tested for this package).
from ukhotides import UkhoTides
from aiohttp import ClientSession
session = ClientSession()
client = UkhoTides(session, "<api_key>")
# Get all stations
stations = await client.async_get_stations()
# Get stations with name filter
stations = await client.async_get_stations("StationName")
# Get station by id
station = await client.async_get_station("0001")
# Get tidal events for station by id
events = await client.async_get_tidal_events("0001")
# Get 4 days of tidal events for station by id
events = await client.async_get_tidal_events("0001", 4)There are also several premium endpoints exposed, however these are built based on the documentation and have not been tested.
### Premium API Endpoints ###
### UNTESTED ###

# Get tide height for a station for a given datetime

# Get tide heights for a station between a given date range and at a given interval

end_date = datetime(2020,1,1,2)
heights = await client.async_get_tidal_heights("0001", start_date, end_date, interval_in_minutes)- Better docs (sorry)
