rain_viewer

Rust bindings to the free Rain Viewer API https://www.rainviewer.com/weather-radar-map-live.html

Provides easy access to satellite-imagery-style precipitation radar imagery for the entire world.

Example

```rust

[tokio::main]

async fn main() { // Query what data is available let maps = rain_viewer::available().await.unwrap();

// Pick the first past entry in the past to sample
let frame = &maps.past_radar[0];

// Setup the arguments for the tile we want to access
// Parameters are x, y and zoom following the satellite imagery style
let mut args = rain_viewer::RequestArguments::new_tile(4, 7, 6).unwrap();
// Use this pretty color scheme
args.set_color(rain_viewer::ColorKind::Titan);
// Enable showing snow in addition to rain
args.set_snow(true);
// Smooth out the tile image (looks nicer from tile to tile)
args.set_smooth(false);

// Make an API call to get the time image data using our parameters
let png = rain_viewer::get_tile(&maps, frame, args)
    .await
    .unwrap();

//Check for PNG magic to make sure we got an image
assert_eq!(&png[0..4], &[0x89, 0x50, 0x4e, 0x47]);

} ```

[available] is the entry point to obtaining radar imagery. This returns historical data and forecast data that is available.

From there, most users call [get_tile] to download a PNG of a specific satellite tile.
