A Python client for Metwit weather API.

It's as simple as this:

from metwit import Metwit

weather = Metwit.weather.get(location_lat=45.45,
                             location_lng=9.18)

Good! Hope it's not raining.

# weather[0] is the real-time weather in a location
if weather[0]['weather']['status'] == 'rainy':
    print 'Better take my umbrella with me'

What if I want to authenticate my app?

from metwit import Metwit

CLIENT_ID = '111111'
CLIENT_SECRET = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

metwit = Metwit(client_id=CLIENT_ID, client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET)
metwit.token_client_credentials()

metwit.weather.get(location_lat=45.45, location_lng=9.18)

Fine. This will allow me to use credits from my plan and make more API calls.

Metwit API plans come with a number of weather calls you can make daily. You can overcome the limit by posting data. Every time you post meaningful data to Metwit, your limits will extend.

How? Post a Metag:

metag = {
    'geo': {
        'lat': 45.45,
        'lng': 9.18,
    }
    'weather': {
        'status': 'rainy',
    },
}
metwit.metags.post(metag)

geo is the only mandatory field. As an overview, a Metag object may contain weather status, measured data (temperature, pressure, humidity, etc) and sensory info (I feel hot/warm/etc). Detailed reference is available on the Metwit API documentation page for metags.

All you need is the Metwit class.

client_id and client_secret come from the Developer Dashboard. You only need those if you registered an application. You shouldn't include a client secret if you are going to distribute the code of your application (as opposed to application code hosted on a server, or running on your machine, for example).

If you stored an access_token (and refresh_token) elsewhere you can pass them to the constructor, otherwise you can make unauthenticated calls, or obtain a token with get_token() or one of the shortcut methods.

These are the API resources. You can .get() and .post() these, or get individual items with the subscript operator (e.g. Metwit.metag['123456'].get()).

Calls the token endpoint to obtain an access token. The Metwit object stores the access token for you, so API calls after this will be authenticated.

Returns the URL for the OAuth 2.0 authorization dialog. If you want to act in behalf of the users, you should redirect their browser to this URL.

This is a shortcut to get_token(). Use it when your users go through the authorization dialog and you get the authorization code back.

This is a shortcut to get_token(). Use it when you just want to query the weather and don't need to act in behalf of a user.

This is a shortcut to get_token(). Use it when you have the username and the password of a Metwit user.

Use this when you have the URI of a resource and need to access it. E.g. metwit.resource('/v2/metags/123456/').get().
