[Question] How do I extract data from this app?

[Davetheraveuk]

Hi, I would like to extract data from this app and display it in conky. How do I do this? Thanks, Dave.

Hello,

Do you know how to add widgets in Conky ?
Maybe the log file in ~/.config/meteo-qt/meteo-qt.log can help (and add some more specific information for Conky?)

[Davetheraveuk]

@dglent
Hi, yes, I am fully aware of conky and its widgets (see pic attacted).
I had a look at the log file and this is all that was in there:

`
2023/09/11 19:11:50 ERROR: Your openweathermap key has no access to onecall api - 2781: meteo_qt

2023/09/11 19:11:51 INFO: Actual weather status for: Loughton GB 21.9°

Feels like 22 °C

overcast clouds - 2431: meteo_qt
`

I have no wish to see any meteo-qt icons within conky, just the data from the meteo-gt app.
Hope you can help
Thanks.
Dave.

In the log file you have some usefull data
`Actual weather status for: Loughton GB 21.9°

Feels like 22 °C

overcast clouds`

I don’t know how you add data in conky. If you read this file every hour for exemple you can exctract the current weather status. If you need more data as forecast it will be easy to add also.
Tell me if this aproach is ok and the needed data.

@dglent

As requested, below is the data I am looking to place on the background desktop via conky:

Thanks, Dave.

You can add this line:

logging.info(
                f'EXPORT:{ {key: value if type(value) == str else " ".join(v for v in value) for key, value in self.weatherDataDico.items()} }'
            )

here just after this line:

meteo-qt/meteo_qt/meteo_qt.py

Line 2431 in 92ec153

logging.info(f'Actual weather status for: {self.notification}')

and tell me if you can use it and if you want more data

[Davetheraveuk]

Hi, I added the line you told me to and now the program will not start at startup. I try to start the program manually via the start-menu and nothing. I have since removed the line: logging.info(

f'EXPORT:{ {key: value if type(value) == str else " ".join(v for v in value) for key, value in self.weatherDataDico.items()} }' )

and the program works fine again.

It should work, try the exact following code.
I wanted to know if this way is suitable to import data in Conky.
Then i will format the data (e.g. the time) and i will add more data in this object/dictionary export but firstly test if it is usable like this

        if not self.toggle_tray_action:
            logging.info(f'Actual weather status for: {self.notification}')
            logging.info(
                f'EXPORT:{ {key: value if type(value) == str else " ".join(v for v in value) for key, value in self.weatherDataDico.items()} }'
            )

[Davetheraveuk]

Hi, So I got it working, all works well. You mentioned if I required any other parameters I should ask. Can *moonrise* and *moonfall* be added? Also, can the exported data be in CSV database format? Like: Parameter,Value Sunrise,06:48 Sunset,19:03 Feels_Like,10.52 C ... Dave.

I started with this, is the lines format ok for your need ?

logging.info(
    f"\nEXPORT_START\n"
    f"City,{city_label}\n"
    f"Feels like,{self.feels_like_value.text()}\n"
    f"Wind,{self.weatherDataDico['Wind'][4]} {wind_speed} {self.unit_system_wind} {self.weatherDataDico['Wind'][1]}\n"
    f"Cloudiness,{self.weatherDataDico['Clouds']}\n"
    f"EXPORT_END\n"
)

Add this code here (it is at the end of the update of the gui panel):

meteo-qt/meteo_qt/meteo_qt.py

Line 821 in 92ec153

[Davetheraveuk]

Yes, its fine. Thank you.

Try the above commit to tell me if ok

• The air quality an UV are arriving after the update of the GUI so you will see them after the next update of the weather.
  It needs to make some modifications to make some variables global etc, check as it and tell me

[Davetheraveuk]

Hi, I cannot seem to find the exported information in a CSV database file anywhere. Where would the CSV file be saved to? Thanks. David.

Ah sorry i didn't precise, the data are logged in the log file which you can find in ~/.config/meteo-qt/meteo-qt.log
You can have a script which extracts (for e.g. every 30 minutes) the data from this file.
You can extract the data and use them directly or create a csv file.
You can use the following awk command:

[dglent@localhost meteo-qt]$ pwd
/home/dglent/.config/meteo-qt
[dglent@localhost meteo-qt]$ awk '/EXPORT_START/{ f=1;r=""; next }f && /EXPORT_END/{f=0} f{ r=(r=="")? $0: r RS $0 }END{ print r }' meteo-qt.log
City,Paris, FR
Temperature,13.87 °C
Feels like,13.79 °C
Wind,South 7.6  km/h  light breeze
Cloudiness,100% overcast clouds
Humidity,95 %

[dglent@localhost meteo-qt]$ awk '/EXPORT_START/{ f=1;r=""; next }f && /EXPORT_END/{f=0} f{ r=(r=="")? $0: r RS $0 }END{ print r }' meteo-qt.log > meteo_exp.csv
[dglent@localhost meteo-qt]$ ls
