get_stations_info_from {meteospain}

Get meteorological stations info

Description

Obtain info and metadata for the available stations in the different services

Usage

get_stations_info_from(
  service = c("aemet", "meteocat", "meteoclimatic", "meteogalicia", "ria"),
  options
)

Arguments

service

Character with the service name (in lower case).

options

List with the needed service options. See services_options to have more info about the different services and their options.

Details

Depending on the service the metadata available can be different. Also, some services only offer info for active stations (i.e. AEMET), not historical stations, so some mismatch can occur between the stations returned by this function and the stations returned by get_meteo_from for historical dates.

Value

An sf (spatial) object with the stations metadata.

Cache

In order to avoid unnecessary API calls, results of this function are cached in memory with memoise. This means that subsequent calls from get_meteo_from with the same arguments will be faster as they will not call the meteorological service API. This cache has a maximum size of 1024 MB and persist 24 hours in the same R session after loading the package. To forgot the cache, memoise::forget(get_stations_info_from) can be used.

Examples

if (identical(Sys.getenv("NOT_CRAN"), "true")) {
  library(meteospain)
  library(keyring)

  # AEMET (we need a key)
  # key_set('aemet')
  api_options <- aemet_options(api_key = key_get('aemet'))
  get_stations_info_from('aemet', api_options)
}
