Open Meteo Marine SDK

Introduction

Opensource Marine Data API wrapper for Open Meteo with Typescript support

OpenMarine is designed to simplify access to marine weather data from Open Meteo. OpenMarine offers an easy-to-use interface to fetch real-time marine weather information.

Getting Started

Installation

Install OpenMarine using npm:

npm install marine_meteo

Basic Setup

To start using OpenMarine, import it into your project:

import OpenMarine from 'marine_meteo';

Usage Examples

Fetching Hourly Forecast

Retrieve hourly marine weather data:

const marine = new OpenMarine();

async function getHourlyData() {
  try {
    const data = await marine.getHourly(54.3213, 10.1348, ['wave_height']);
    console.log(data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
  }
}

getHourlyData();

Fetching Daily and Current Forecasts

Similar to the hourly forecast, you can fetch daily and current forecasts:

// Daily Forecast
async function getDailyData() {
  const data = await marine.getDaily(54.3213, 10.1348, ['wave_height_max']);
  // Process data...
}

// Current Forecast
async function getCurrentData() {
  const data = await marine.getCurrent(54.3213, 10.1348, ['wave_height']);
  // Process data...
}

API Reference

The API functions require latitude, longitude, and at least one parameter from the available options. These parameters are necessary for fetching specific marine weather data. The available parameters for each data type are listed below.

getDaily(latitude: number, longitude: number, parameters: string[]): Promise<MarineApiResponse>

• Functionality: Fetches hourly marine weather data.
• Parameters:
  • latitude (required): Latitude of the location.
  • longitude (required): Longitude of the location.
  • parameters (required): Array of strings indicating the desired data.
• Returns: A promise that resolves to the hourly forecast data.
• Available Parameters for Hourly Data:
  • wave_height
  • wave_direction
  • wave_period
  • wind_wave_height
  • wind_wave_direction
  • wind_wave_period
  • wind_wave_peak_period
  • swell_wave_height
  • swell_wave_direction
  • swell_wave_period
  • swell_wave_peak_period

getDaily(latitude:number, longitude:number, parameters: string[]): Promise<MarineApiResponse>

• Functionality: Fetches daily marine weather data.
• Parameters: Similar to getHourly.

  • wind_wave_peak_period_max
  • swell_wave_height_max
  • swell_wave_direction_dominant
  • swell_wave_period_max
  • swell_wave_peak_period_max

getCurrent(latitude:number, longitude:number, parameters:string[]): Promise<MarineApiResponse>

• Functionality: Fetches current marine weather data.
• Parameters: Similar to getHourly.
• Available Parameters for Current Data:
  • interval
  • wave_height
  • wave_direction
  • wave_period
  • wind_wave_height
  • wind_wave_direction
  • wind_wave_period
  • wind_wave_peak_period
