accuweather
Python wrapper for getting weather data from AccuWeather API.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need AccuWeather data in an async Python application and can meet the Python 3.13+ requirement. Low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing make it a straightforward choice. The main constraint is the hard Python version floor and the requirement for an AccuWeather API key.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires an AccuWeather API key from https://developer.accuweather.com/subscriptions; Python 3.13 or later.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- Actively maintained as of 2026-08-13 with recent releases; requires Python 3.13 or later.

What it is and what it does
accuweather is an async Python client for the AccuWeather weather API. It wraps aiohttp to provide a non-blocking interface for fetching current weather conditions, daily forecasts, and hourly forecasts for specified coordinates. The package handles API authentication, location lookup, and response parsing, and raises specific exceptions (InvalidApiKeyError, InvalidCoordinatesError, RequestsExceededError) to help you handle common failure modes.
The library is built for modern Python (3.13+) with type hints and is designed to integrate into async applications. It depends on aiohttp for HTTP transport, orjson for fast JSON parsing, and yarl for URL handling. You provide an API key, coordinates, and an aiohttp ClientSession, then call async methods to retrieve weather data.
Use it for
- Fetch current weather conditions for a location in an async web service or bot
- Build a weather dashboard that updates daily and hourly forecasts without blocking
- Integrate AccuWeather data into a home automation or IoT monitoring system
- Query weather for multiple locations concurrently in a data pipeline
- Provide localized weather information in a multi-language application
