Classes

There are two classes implemented in this module.

AmbientAPI

This is the base API that you initialize in your code.

from ambient_api.ambientapi import AmbientAPI

api = AmbientAPI()

This class takes care of authenticating to, and sending calls to the API. It can be expanded as needed in the future.

AmbientWeatherStation

This class represents a single Weather Station. When you ask AmbientAPI for a list of devices, it returns a list of AmbientWeatherStations, and from this class, you can query the weather station itself.

devices = api.get_devices()

device = devices[0]

print(device.get_data())
