Buy Me A Coffee

MeteoLt-Pkg is a Python library designed to fetch weather data from [`api.meteo.lt`](https://api.meteo.lt/). This library provides convenient methods to interact with the API and obtain weather forecasts and related data. Please visit for more information.

## Installation

You can install the package using pip:

```bash
pip install meteo_lt-pkg
```

## Usage

Initializing the API Client
To start using the library, you need to initialize the `MeteoLtAPI` client:

```python
from meteo_lt import MeteoLtAPI

api_client = MeteoLtAPI()
```

### Fetching Places

To get the list of available places:

```python
import asyncio

async def fetch_places():
await api_client.fetch_places()
for place in api_client.places:
print(place)

asyncio.run(fetch_places())
```

### Getting the Nearest Place

You can find the nearest place using latitude and longitude coordinates:

```python
async def find_nearest_place(latitude, longitude):
nearest_place = await api_client.get_nearest_place(latitude, longitude)
print(f"Nearest place: {nearest_place.name}")

# Example coordinates for Vilnius, Lithuania
asyncio.run(find_nearest_place(54.6872, 25.2797))
```

Also, if no places are retrieved before, that is done automatically in `get_nearest_place` method.

### Fetching Weather Forecast

To get the weather forecast for a specific place, use the get_forecast method with the place code:

```python
async def fetch_forecast(place_code):
forecast = await api_client.get_forecast(place_code)
current_conditions = forecast.current_conditions()
print(f"Current temperature: {current_conditions.temperature}°C")

# Example place code for Vilnius, Lithuania
asyncio.run(fetch_forecast("vilnius"))
```
>**NOTE** `current_conditions` is the current hour record from the `forecast_timestamps` array. Also, `forecast_timestamps` array has past time records filtered out due to `api.meteo.lt` not doing that automatically.

## Data Models

The package includes several data models to represent the API responses:

### Coordinates

Represents geographic coordinates.

```python
from meteo_lt import Coordinates

coords = Coordinates(latitude=54.6872, longitude=25.2797)
print(coords)
```

### Place

Represents a place with associated metadata.

```python
from meteo_lt import Place

place = Place(code="vilnius", name="Vilnius", administrative_division="Vilnius City Municipality", country="LT", coordinates=coords)
print(place.latitude, place.longitude)
```

### ForecastTimestamp

Represents a timestamp within the weather forecast, including various weather parameters.

```python
from meteo_lt import ForecastTimestamp

forecast_timestamp = ForecastTimestamp(
datetime="2024-07-23T12:00:00+00:00",
temperature=25.5,
apparent_temperature=27.0,
condition_code="clear",
wind_speed=5.0,
wind_gust_speed=8.0,
wind_bearing=180,
cloud_coverage=20,
pressure=1012,
humidity=60,
precipitation=0
)
print(forecast_timestamp.condition)
```

### Forecast

Represents the weather forecast for a place, containing multiple forecast timestamps.

```python
from meteo_lt import Forecast

forecast = Forecast(
place=place,
forecast_created=datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),
forecast_timestamps=[forecast_timestamp]
)
print(forecast.current_conditions().temperature)
```
