Run a quick speed check across multiple speed test providers
Simple CLI to combine these and provide a JSON response for all

**SpeedCheck** is a simple command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to help users measure their internet speed using various popular speed test providers. Read about the [motivation and additional details about this project here](https://datacommons.substack.com/p/data-commons-and-connectivity-exploring). Whether you want to check the performance of your connection through Cloudflare, Fast.com, Ookla, or M-Lab, SpeedCheck provides a unified and straightforward way to run these tests from the command line. This tool consolidates multiple speed test services into one easy-to-use package, allowing users to quickly and efficiently assess their internet connection's download and upload speeds, latency, and overall performance.

## Features

- Run speed tests from multiple providers:
- Cloudflare
- Fast.com
- Ookla
- M-Lab
- Speed Smart
- Open Speed Test
- Check and compare the installed version of SpeedCheck with the latest version available on PyPI.
- Get information about the speed tests supported by SpeedCheck.
- SpeedCheck also notifies you if a newer version of the package is available on PyPI.

## Installation

To install SpeedCheck, use pip:

```
pip install speedcheck
```

## Setup
We recommend using a virtual environment to manage dependencies. Once your virtual environment is set up, make sure to run the following command to ensure that the necessary browsers are downloaded

```
speedcheck setup
```

The rest of the dependencies are handled through setup.py. This project is in its early stages, so your feedback and contributions are highly appreciated.

## Usage

**Getting Information**: To get information about the supported speed tests, use the info command:

```
speedcheck info
```

**Running Speed Tests**: To run a speed test, use the run command followed by the --type argument to specify the speed test provider.

```
speedcheck run --type [provider]
```

Replace **provider** with one of the following options:

* cloudflare
* fast
* ookla
* mlab
* speedsmart
* openspeedtest

Example:

```
speedcheck run --type cloudflare
```
