Smart Library for Getting Weather Details for Free¶

My task was to develop a module in python so that Developers and Makers can use this for getting weather Updates at Free of Cost.¶

from IPython.display import YouTubeVideo
YouTubeVideo('TyFPn8mEEv0')

What i did is i went to popular website for weather details and when i enter city and hit enter i monitored the network traffic. i did reverse engineering on website and found the API that they were using for weather Details. using webscrapping i extract all details and thats how i made a module to get weather Data based on ZipCode

How to use this Library¶

This will give following details¶

dew_point, feelsLike,humidity,observationTime, temperature,visibility,windspeed,winddegree, winddirection

2 Line of code and its that Easy¶

In [2]:

w = Weather()
print(w.weather_get(zip='06604'))

(40, 64, 40, '2019-05-11T14:05:33-0400', 65, 10.0, 12, 330, 'NNW')
