# 🇩🇰🌤️ Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) API.











The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) does unfortunately not offer an official API ([yet](#%EF%B8%8F-disclaimer)). 

This package is (in some form) a workaround for that. It collects all weather data (forecasts and archived) from the official DMI website and turns it into structured data objects.

_**Note: Since the data is being extracted from a the website, there is a risk of the package could stop working, if the website does any breaking changes.**_

_**Should this happen, please don't hesitate to [create an issue](https://github.com/rugaard/dmi/issues/new) and I will look into it as quickly as possible**_

## ⚠️ Disclaimer

As part of the danish governments desire to become one of the *digital frontrunners*, they have decided that the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) has to make all of their data available to the public.

The data will be released in multiple stages over the **next 3 years**, starting from **Q3 in 2019** until **Q4 in 2022**. Unfortunately there is not much information on how the data will be released.

Depending on how the data will be released, this package will be subject to changes in the future.

**Since the data is not officially released, this package is made available under a very strict license, which prohibits any use other than personal.**

When DMI releases the data publicly, the license will be changed to a more open source-friendly (MIT) version.

## 📦 Installation

You can install the package via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), by using the following command:

```shell

composer require rugaard/dmi

```

### Laravel

This package comes with a out-of-the-box Service Provider for the [Laravel](http://laravel.com) framework.

If you're using a newer version of Laravel (`>= 5.5`) then the service provider will loaded automatically.

Are you using an older version, then you need to manually add the service provider to the `config/app.php` file:

```php

'providers' => [

    Rugaard\DMI\Providers\Laravel\ServiceProvider::class,

]

```

## ⚙️ Usage

First thing you need to do, is to instantiate the `DMI` client

```php

# Instantiate the DMI client.

$dmi = new \Rugaard\DMI\DMI;

```

Once you've done that, you're able to request one or more of the supported features:

```php

# National forecast.

$forecast = $dmi->forecast();

# Location by coordinate.

$location = $dmi->locationByCoordinate(55.67594, 12.56553);

# National warnings.

$warnings = $dmi->warnings();

```

## 🌤 Icons

When getting weather data from a [location](#location-by-id), the response will contain an `$icon` value. The purpose of this value is to determine which icon represents the current weather conditions.

In the table below is a list of all possible icons and values. Each icon is associated with a suggested emoji or image. 

I would recommend downloading the free icon pack from [Pixel Perfect](https://www.flaticon.com/packs/weather-97), since it's one of the few ones, that both contains a day and night version of each condition - while still being free.

## 🗣 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

#### How do I find the ID of a pre-defined location?

There are two ways to find it:

1. Use this package's [search endpoint](#search-locations).

2. Go to [DMI's website](https://www.dmi.dk/) and use the search feature in the top right corner. If your desired location pops up; click on it and you will be directed to the locations page. You can now copy/paste the ID from the locations URL.

> https://www.dmi.dk/lokation/show/DK/**`2618425`**/København/

#### What is this `Tightenco\Collect\Support\Collection` class and how does it work?

All endpoints returns data within a `Tightenco\Collect\Support\Collection` class. The class is a port of the popular `Collection` class from [Laravel](https://laravel.com).

Please refer to [Laravel](https://laravel.com)'s detailed documentation, to learn more about how you work with a `Collection`:


[https://laravel.com/docs/master/collections](https://laravel.com/docs/master/collections)

## 🗺 Roadmap

#### Internal caching

Some endpoints, like [National forecasts](#national-forecast), [sunrise and sunset](#sun-times) and [pollen measurements](#pollen) are endpoints which doesn't change/update very often.

By implementing some form of internal caching, we could cache these kind of endpoints. This would increase the response time and we would avoid making unnecessary requests to DMI.
