For the best developer experience, all functions and classes are typed and documented with docstrings.
Caching#
By default, the library makes a cache file named yr_cache.sqlite in the working directory.
To disable caching, set use_cache to False like so:
yr_weather.Locationforecast(headers=headers, use_cache=False)
MET’s Terms of Service encourage using caching to avoid extra load on the network. Therefore, disabling caching and not implementing it yourself is not recommended.
