get_stations_info_from: Get meteorological stations info

In meteospain: Access to Spanish Meteorological Stations Services

Get meteorological stations info

Description

Obtain info and metadata for the available stations in the different services

Usage

get_stations_info_from(
  service = c("aemet", "meteocat", "meteoclimatic", "meteogalicia", "ria"),
  options
)

Arguments

service	Character with the service name (in lower case).
options	List with the needed service options. See services_options to have more info about the different services and their options.

Details

Depending on the service the metadata available can be different. Also, some services only offer info for active stations (i.e. AEMET), not historical stations, so some mismatch can occur between the stations returned by this function and the stations returned by get_meteo_from for historical dates.

Value

An sf (spatial) object with the stations metadata.

Cache

To avoid unnecessary API calls (especially in rate-limited APIs), results are cached to memory in a cache_mem object. This cache is limited to the actual R session and invalidates after 24h.

This cache can be cleared with clear_meteospain_cache.

Examples

  library(meteospain)
  library(keyring)

  # AEMET (we need a key)
  # key_set('aemet')
  api_options <- aemet_options(api_key = key_get('aemet'))
  get_stations_info_from('aemet', api_options)
