Why use Meteole?

There is one reason for using Meteole:

Easy access Météo-France forecast and vigilance data

Before Meteole 🌧

Accessing weather data from Météo-France via Python could be quite challenging and time-consuming.

It involved:

  • Diving into Météo-France documentation
  • Handling expiring tokens manually
  • Managing XML responses
  • Dealing with the specificities of each weather indicator
  • Parsing responses to get a clean dataframe

After Meteole ☀

Meteole simplifies the process, allowing you to quickly fetch tidy pandas dataframes full of weather-rich data:

  • By handling the API boilerplate
  • By providing simple and well-documented function
  • By using heuristics when necessary parameters are not provided
  • By providing options to use individual parameters or a coverage_id for weather indicators
