Before you install
- Requires Python 3.13 or later; requires an active aiohttp ClientSession and valid IMGW-PIB station IDs.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel.
- Active maintenance with a release 18 days ago and recent commits.

What it is and what it does
This package provides an async Python client for querying weather and hydrological data from Poland's IMGW-PIB (Institute of Meteorology and Water Management) API. It wraps the HTTP API calls using aiohttp, allowing non-blocking requests suitable for integration into async applications. The library handles API errors, network timeouts, and client errors with specific exception types.
The package is built on aiofiles, aiohttp, orjson, and yarl for efficient async I/O and JSON parsing. It targets modern Python (3.13+) and is classified as production-stable. Use it when you need to fetch current or historical weather and water-level data for Polish monitoring stations in an async context.
Use it for
- Fetch real-time weather data from Polish meteorological stations for a weather dashboard or alert system.
- Monitor hydrological station data (water levels, flow rates) for flood prediction or water resource management.
- Integrate IMGW-PIB data into an async IoT or home automation system that queries multiple APIs concurrently.
- Build a data pipeline that periodically collects weather and hydrological observations for analysis or archival.
- Create a weather API aggregator that combines IMGW-PIB with other regional data sources.
