Weather Web-Scraper

Caution

The following utility is in EARLY developement. Many promises made in this readme might not actually be true. Hopefully one day we'll be out of beta and be releasing on time

An utility to scrape italian weather websites to collect and compare weather information

Usage

Warning

The script is configured to run on Nix, and because of this is more complicated than it needs to be. You can remove unnecessary stuff if you're not running this on nix

The scraper collects data and arranges in the following scheme

{
    "today": {
        "[0..23]": {
            "temp": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "degrees",
                "description": "expected temperature at the given hour"
            },
            "prec": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "mm",
                "description": "expected precipitation at the given hour"
            }
        }
    },
    "tomorrow": {
        "[0..23]": {
            "temp": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "degrees",
                "description": "expected temperature at the given hour"
            },
            "prec": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "mm",
                "description": "expected precipitation at the given hour"
            }
        }
    },
    "dayAfterTomorrow": {
        "[0..23]": {
            "temp": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "degrees",
                "description": "expected temperature at the given hour"
            },
            "prec": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "mm",
                "description": "expected precipitation at the given hour"
            }
        }
    },
    "week": {
        "[0..6]": {
            "minTemp": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "degrees",
                "description": "minimum expected temperature for the day"
            },
            "maxTemp": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "degrees",
                "description": "maximum expected temperature for the day"
            },
            "totPrec": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "mm",
                "description": "total expected precipitation for the day"
            }
        }
    }
}

The keys for the week entry are intended as an offset from today. That is, the object at 0 will be the results for today, the object at 1 will be the results for tomorrow, and the object at 6 will be the results for 6 days from now
