Parameters

The data that is provided via wetterdienst and its implemented services comes in all kinds of different shapes. All parameters are summarized in a core Parameter enumeration and parameter enumerations of all weather services are tested against it so that newly added parameters will be sorted and carefully added to the existing collection. The core Parameter enumeration can be used for requests as well, as internally the requested parameter is always translated to the provider specific parameter enumeration.

Import the provider specific metadata model like:

from wetterdienst.provider.dwd.observation import DwdObservationMetadata

# print resolutions, datasets and parameters
for resolution in DwdObservationMetadata:
    print(f"{2 * "\t"}{resolution.name}", "\n")
    for dataset in resolution:
        print(f"{3 * "\t"}{dataset.name}", "\n")
        for parameter in dataset:
            print(f"{4 * "\t"}{parameter.name}", "\n")
