WorldWeatherOnline historical weather data API Python wrapper

worldweatheronline's Issues

the script

Hello i have a problem with the script than i used a small modification

from wwo_hist import retrieve_hist_data
import os
**import requests**

**os.chdir(os.getcwd())**

frequency = 3
start_date = '11-DEC-2018'
end_date = '11-MAR-2019'
api_key = '..........'
location_list = ['singapore', 'california']

hist_weather_data = retrieve_hist_data(api_key,
                                       location_list,
                                       start_date,
                                       end_date,
                                       frequency,
                                       location_label=False,
                                       export_csv=True,
                                       store_df=True)

tempC and maxtempC are the same

Hi, Thank you very much for this useful package. I've noticed that the scrapped tempC and maxtempC are the same. Is it a bug in the script or the data error from the WWO? Thank you.
Best,

longitude / latitude

How am I supposed a input a list of longitude and latitude, as the location parameter is required to be a string?

Error handling for invalid date (and potentially other errors)

It appears if you reach the historical limit for weather data (e.g. I was trying to scrape for a date in 2008), the API returns an error message:

{'error': [{'msg': 'There is no weather data available for the date provided.'}]}

However the library currently does not handle for this, and just errors with:

  File "/my/path/lib/python3.8/site-packages/wwo_hist/__init__.py", line 103, in retrieve_this_location
    data = json_data['data']['weather']
KeyError: 'weather'

Would it be desirable to at least provide this error message back to the user? I'm happy to make a pull request if you agree

how to save to a df?

The readme says this, but im too stupid to find the dataframes?

`store_df: bool, default = False

If True, retrieved dataframe(s) will be stored as list in the work space.`

HTTPError: Bad Request

period of 3-hour

Hi,
Thanks for your information. The problem I faced with this is that I need the historical data of each 15-minutes for a specific period of time. But it seems that this website just provides information regarding the 3-hours period of time. Even if I change the frequency to 1, it again retrieves the data for the 3-hour period of time.

Multiple Files

When I run the script through a loop from different Zip codes on different days the program overwrites the original file when same zips are processed. For instance, I have the same 5 zips on different days, the .csv file is overwritten each time.

How do I store all processed zips, with different dates, into one .csv file without overwrite?

pd.date_range, closed is outdated, replace by inclusive

In newer versions of pandas, pd.date_range no longer uses the keyword "closed" this should be replaced by "inclusive"

urllib has no attribute "requests"

When I run the sample code, it told me that "module urllib has no attribute requests" I found the solution that you can change the "import urllib" to "import urllib.requests" at line 13 in file "init.py"

Invalid syntax of file_path

Hello,

Thank you very much for the work. It looks very helpful and easy to use but I got a SyntaxError in the function retrieve_this_location in the line
file_path = f'{response_cache_path}/{location}{start_d}{end_d}'

May you tell me how to solve it, please?

Thank you!

Monthly average

Thanks for the helpful wrapper. Is there a way to adjust the frequency to get a monthly average?

export_csv

Hello,

Is there any way to make the export_csv function append to a csv file? Right now, the export_csv just writes over the CSV file.

Thanks,

Format of date in output csv

Trying to work with the repo (thanks!)
What is the timezone of the dates given? UTC or local time?

Last Month comes two times

First of all: amazing work! You saved me a lot of time for trying out on my own. Thank you very much!

While using the package a behavior occured I could not understand. I collected historical weather data for complete year 2018 from 01-JAN-2018 to 31-DEC-2018. For some reason the december was retrieved two times. no problem at all - I just deleted one december afterwards but maybe you have an idea how to repair this.

best regards,
fabian
