It wraps the service's JSON and legacy XML APIs, parsing responses into structured dictionaries containing temperature, wind, precipitation, and condition details. The package includes both a programmatic interface for integration into applications (originally built for Home Assistant) and a command-line tool for direct queries by latitude and longitude.\n\nThe library depends on requests for HTTP calls, xmltodict for XML parsing, pytz for timezone handling, docopt for CLI argument parsing, and vincenty for distance calculations. It targets a broad Python version range from 3.4 onward, though the aging maintenance status and lack of recent feature updates suggest it is stable but not actively developed.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need Dutch weather data and accept the aging maintenance status. The package is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. It is well-suited for Home Assistant integrations and other applications that depend on buienradar.nl data and do not require active development. Not recommended if you need ongoing feature updates or support for new API versions."},"id":"buienradar","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/buienradar","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/buienradar.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/buienradar/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-02-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"buienradar","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Library and CLI tools for interacting with buienradar."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":74832,"position":14786,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.9"}
