.NET wrapper to query the Met Office DataPoint API for weather data.
To use MetOfficeDataPoint in your C# project, you can either download the MetOfficeDataPoint C# .NET libraries directly from the Github repository or, if you have the NuGet package manager installed, you can grab them automatically.
PM> Install-Package MetOfficeDataPoint
Once you have the MetOfficeDataPoint libraries properly referenced in your project, you can include calls to them in your code.
Add the following namespaces to use the library:
using MetOfficeDataPoint;
using MetOfficeDataPoint.Models;
using MetOfficeDataPoint.Models.GeoCoordinate;The below code can be used in a .NET Core project, a test project is also included in the GitHub solution.
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create client
MetOfficeDataPointClient client = new MetOfficeDataPointClient("[TOKEN}");
// Get all sites
SiteListResponse siteListResponse = client.GetAllSites().Result;
// Get available forcasts
AvailableTimeStampsResponse availableTimeStampsResponse = client.GetAvailableTimestamps().Result;
// Get all 3 hourly forecasts
ForecastResponse3Hourly forecastResponse3Hourly = client.GetForecasts3Hourly().Result;
// Get daily forecasts for site 14
ForecastResponseDaily forecastResponseDaily = client.GetForecastsDaily(14).Result;
// Get historical observations
ForecastResponse3Hourly historicalResponse = client.GetHistoricalObservations().Result;
// Get closest site
GeoCoordinate coordinate = new GeoCoordinate(51.508363, -0.163006);
Location location = client.GetClosestSite(coordinate).Result;
}
