This API is used for converting location name as a string to the respective locality's weather data. Import module main from package LocToWeatherAPI. Call main.driver(place,date="",type_of_forecast="<Any one from 1 to 4 in string format>"). You can pass ANY ONE OF the keyword arguments - Date in "YYYY-MM-DD" format/ forecast type required ('1' for today {Default Selection}, '2' for monthly,'3' for 5-day and '4' for 10-day). We are relying on APIs used by weather.com internally for extracting the respective data.

For ex:

1.If you just want today's weather metrics with place name:

from LocToWeatherAPI import main
main.driver("Place-Name")

2.If you just want the current month's forecast with place name:

from LocToWeatherAPI import main
main.driver("Place-Name",type_of_forecast="2")

3.If you just want some date's weather prediction with place name:

from LocToWeatherAPI import main
main.driver("Place-Name",date="date string in yyyy-mm-dd format")

package is installable as "pip install LocToWeatherAPI"

If no/wrong keyword arguments given, it may result in wrong output

Included BROWSABLE API can be started with :

from LocToWeatherAPI import api_server
api_server.start()

Here the home page, i.e, "/" contains the instructions for accessing the different endpoints.

For ex:

"/Name of Place/" or "/Name of Place/1/" - Today's weather for Place
"/Name of Place/2/" - Monthly forecast for place
"/Name of Place/3/" - 5 days forecast for place
"/Name of Place/4/" - 10 days forecast for place
"/Name of Place/Date/" - Date's forecast for place
