# metoffice-weather-cli

A CLI tool for fetching and printing weather data from the 

[Met Office Weather DataHub API](https://metoffice.apiconnect.ibmcloud.com/metoffice/production/).

## Installation  

### PyPI

Open the command line and type `python3 -m pip install metoffice-weather-cli`. You can then run the program anywhere

by typing `python3 -m metoffice_weather_cli `.  

Note: you may need to replace `python3` with your OS's equivalent.

## Usage

To use this program, you must have a Met Office Weather DataHub API key and

a geocode.xyz Auth token (optional, used for geocoding only). These can be added by running the program with 

the `-c` flag or manually added in a .env file placed in the `metoffice-weather-cli` package directory as such:

```

DATAHUB_API_KEY=xxxxxxxx

DATAHUB_SECRET=xxxxxxxx

GEOCODE_AUTH=xxxxxxxx

```

Run `python3 -m metoffice_weather_cli` in the command line (optionally with the `-h` flag) to view the help page.

## Todo

- Pick all 'useful' information out of the Met Office data - some is currently omitted

- Allow preferences to be set in a config file for the data printed out

- Switch from .env-based saving of API keys to another format (e.g. JSON) to avoid wiping files containing

environment variables unrelated to the program
