Global PyOWM library usage examples

The PyOWM library has one main entry point: the OWM class. You just need to instantiate it to get started!

Please refer to the Code Recipes page, section: Library initialization, to get info about how to instantiate the PyOWM library

Dumping PyOWM objects to Python dictionaries

PyOWM object instances (eg. Weather or Location objects) can be dumped to dicts:

from pyowm.owm import OWM
owm = OWM('your-api-key')
mgr = owm.weather_manager()
weather = mgr.weather_at_place('London,GB').weather  # get the weather at London,GB now
dump_dict = weather.to_dict()

This is useful as you can save the dump dictionaries to files (eg. using Python json or pickle modules)

Printing objects

Most of PyOWM objects can be pretty-printed for a quick introspection:

from pyowm.owm import OWM
owm = OWM('your-api-key')
print(owm)   # <pyowm.weatherapi30.owm25.OWM25 - API key=*******i-key, subscription type=free, PyOWM version=3.0.0>
