winds-mobi-providers

Python scripts that get the weather data from different providers and save it in a common format into mongodb. This project use Google Cloud APIs to compute any missing station details (altitude, name, timezone, ...). Google Cloud API results are cached with redis.

Run the project with docker compose (simple way)

Dependencies

• Docker
• Google Cloud API key
• Providers secrets (optional)

Create an .env file from .env.template read by docker compose:

• cp .env.template .env

In .env:

• fill GOOGLE_API_KEY with you own Google Cloud API key
• optionally fill the missing secrets for each provider you want to test

Start the databases

• docker compose -f compose.services.yaml up

Run the providers

• docker compose up

Or, run only a specific provider:

• PROVIDER=ffvl docker compose up

Some providers need winds-mobi-admin running to get stations metadata.

Run the project locally

Dependencies

• Homebrew
• Python 3.10
• Poetry 1.7.1
• Google Cloud API key
• Providers secrets (optional)

Create an .env.localhost file from .env.localhost.template read by dotenv for our local commands:

• cp .env.localhost.template .env.localhost

In env.localhost:

• fill GOOGLE_API_KEY with you own Google Cloud API key
• optionally fill the missing secrets for each provider you want to test

On macOS

Install libraries with homebrew:

• brew install libpq
• brew install mysql-client

Create python virtual environment and install dependencies

On macOS

• poetry install

Activate python virtual environment

• poetry shell

Start the databases

You must already have the .env file created in the previous section.

• docker compose -f compose.services.yaml up

Run the providers

• dotenv -f .env.localhost run python run_scheduler.py

Or, run only a specific provider:

• dotenv -f .env.localhost run python -m providers.ffvl

Some providers need winds-mobi-admin running to get stations metadata.

Checking the code style

Format python code:

• black .

Run the linter tools:

• flake8 .
• isort .

Contributing
