Example of Strang direct use

Direct usage of Strang.

Parameters

All available parameters can be listed as

from smhi.strang import Strang

client = Strang()
parameters = client.parameters
# prints parameters and also returns a list with parameter numbers

Point data

To get a point response from Strang do

from smhi.strang import Strang

client = Strang()
point = client.get_point(
    latitude=58,
    longitude=16,
    parameter=118,
    time_from="2020-01-01",
    time_to="2020-02-01",
    time_interval="hourly",
)

Note that the date input can be in either str or datetime formats. The API expects times in UTC but the client expects the user to input local datetimes. The local datetimes are converted to UTC before an API request is performed.

That is, this will work fine

from datetime import datetime
from smhi.strang import Strang

client = Strang()
point = client.get_point(
    58,
    16,
    118,
    "2020 01 01",
    datetime.strptime("2020-02-01", '%Y-%m-%d').date(),
    "hourly",
)

The return object is of type StrangPoint. For a full list of available fields see strang model.

response.df

Multipoint data

For a multi point response

from smhi.strang import Strang

client = Strang()
response = client.get_multipoint(116, "2022-01-01", "monthly")

Also here, the datetime input can be in either str or datetime formats.

The return objects is of type StrangMultiPoint. For a full list of available fields see strang model.

This will show the data in a dataframe
