mywx_forecast: Retrieve forecast data for a location

In hrbrmstr/mywx: Tools to Query the 'MetMalaysia' Web Service 'API'

Description

This is a WIP. The data returned is in a sub-optimal format that requires conversion of some data frame column values to numeric to use.

Usage

mywx_forecast(location_id, start_date = Sys.Date(), end_date = Sys.Date(),
  dataset_id = "FORECAST", data_category_id = "GENERAL",
  mywx_api_token = Sys.getenv("MYWX_TOKEN"))

Arguments

location_id	valid location id retrieved from one of the location helpers
start_date, end_date	either character vectors in ISO 8601 format or Date-like objects. They both default to "today" if not specified
dataset_id	the current only valid default, FORECAST, is pre-populated
data_category_id	the current only valid default, GENERAL is pre-populated
mywx_api_token	MET API token

Details

You need a valid token either passed in to mywx_api_token or stored in the MYWX_TOKEN environment variable, preferably in ~/.Renviron.

Note

Maximum burst requests is 10 per minute and maximum sustained requests is 1,000 per day.
