Textforecast: Examples

Setting up

The examples assume you have set up a Textforecast client like so:

import yr_weather

my_client = yr_weather.Textforecast()

Important

All of the next examples will use my_client as a reference to your client.

Getting text forecast for first location in API list

At the time of writing, text forecasts for land are only available in Norwegian.

land_overview = text_client.get_forecasts("landoverview")

newest_forecast = land_overview["time"][0]["forecasttype"]

first_location = newest_forecast["location"][0]

print(first_location)
# Example output:
# {
#     'name': 'Østlandet',
#     'id': '0503_0608',
#     'text': 'Skiftende eller sørvest bris, sørvest frisk bris på kysten. Oppholdsvær og noe sol.'
# }

Getting available land areas

areas = my_client.get_areas("land")

print(areas)
# Example output:
# {
#   "area": [
#     {
#       "id": "0502",
#       "areaDesc": "Agder",
#       "polygon": "58.089167,8.215333 58.246167,8.525500 ..., ..."
