A met.no library for go
- Covers the locationforecast 2.0 API call
- Integrated memory and disk cache
- Can be called as often as you want, the library takes care of fetching new data if needed or returning cached data otherwise
The library is fairly simple to use. All you need to do is create a client (service) with a logger and then get your locationforecasts. The rest is taken care of by the library.
Add the module:
go get github.com/roemer/metgo
Creation a logger and the service:
logger := slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stdout, &slog.HandlerOptions{Level: slog.LevelDebug}))
metnoService, err := metgo.NewMetNoService("<sitename>", ".metno-cache", logger)Make sure to set the sitename to the name of your website or application and some contact info.
Get data from the service:
metnoData, err := metnoService.Locationforecast(lat, lon, altitude)You then have the data object available in the returned variable.
