实战：WeatherAPI接入完整代码

基础天气查询

import requests
import json
from datetime import datetime

class WeatherService:
    BASE_URL = "http://api.weatherapi.com/v1"
    
    def __init__(self, api_key):
        self.api_key = api_key
    
    def get_current_weather(self, city):
        """获取实时天气"""
        url = f"{self.BASE_URL}/current.json"
        params = {
            "key": self.api_key,
            "q": city,
            "lang": "zh"  # 返回中文描述
        }
        
        response = requests.get(url, params=params, timeout=5)
        response.raise_for_status()
        data = response.json()
        
        return {
            "city": data["location"]["name"],
            "region": data["location"]["region"],
            "temperature": data["current"]["temp_c"],
            "feels_like": data["current"]["feelslike_c"],
            "humidity": data["current"]["humidity"],
            "wind_kph": data["current"]["wind_kph"],
            "condition": data["current"]["condition"]["text"],
            "icon": data["current"]["condition"]["icon"],
            "uv": data["current"]["uv"],
            "last_updated": data["current"]["last_updated"]
        }
    
    def get_forecast(self, city, days=3):
        """获取未来天气预报"""
        url = f"{self.BASE_URL}/forecast.json"
        params = {
            "key": self.api_key,
            "q": city,
            "days": days,
            "lang": "zh"
        }
        
        response = requests.get(url, params=params, timeout=5)
        response.raise_for_status()
        data = response.json()
        
        forecast = []
        for day in data["forecast"]["forecastday"]:
            forecast.append({
                "date": day["date"],
                "max_temp": day["day"]["maxtemp_c"],
                "min_temp": day["day"]["mintemp_c"],
                "avg_temp": day["day"]["avgtemp_c"],
                "condition": day["day"]["condition"]["text"],
                "rain_chance": day["day"]["daily_chance_of_rain"],
                "uv": day["day"]["uv"]
            })
        
        return forecast

# 使用示例
weather = WeatherService("your_api_key_here")

# 查询北京当前天气
current = weather.get_current_weather("Beijing")
print(f"
📍 {current['city']} 当前天气")
print(f"🌡️ 温度: {current['temperature']}°C (体感 {current['feels_like']}°C)")
print(f"💧 湿度: {current['humidity']}%")
print(f"💨 风速: {current['wind_kph']} km/h")
print(f"☁️ 天气: {current['condition']}")
print(f"☀️ 紫外线指数: {current['uv']}")

# 查询未来3天预报
forecast = weather.get_forecast("Beijing", days=3)
print(f"
📅 未来3天预报:")
for day in forecast:
    print(f"{day['date']}: {day['min_temp']}°C ~ {day['max_temp']}°C, {day['condition']}, 降雨概率{day['rain_chance']}%")

#
带缓存的生产级实现


实际项目中，你需要缓存来减少API调用次数：

import redis
import json
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

class CachedWeatherService(WeatherService):
    def __init__(self, api_key, redis_client):
        super().__init__(api_key)
        self.redis = redis_client
        self.cache_duration = 600  # 10分钟缓存
    
    def get_current_weather_cached(self, city):
        """带缓存的天气查询"""
        cache_key = f"weather:current:{city.lower()}"
        
        # 先查缓存
        cached = self.redis.get(cache_key)
        if cached:
            return json.loads(cached)
        
        # 缓存未命中，调用API
        data = self.get_current_weather(city)
        
        # 写入缓存
        self.redis.setex(
            cache_key,
            self.cache_duration,
            json.dumps(data, ensure_ascii=False)
        )
        
        return data
    
    def batch_get_weather(self, cities):
        """批量查询多个城市天气"""
        results = {}
        
        for city in cities:
            try:
                results[city] = self.get_current_weather_cached(city)
            except Exception as e:
                results[city] = {"error": str(e)}
        
        return results

# 使用Redis缓存
redis_client = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)
weather = CachedWeatherService("your_api_key", redis_client)

# 批量查询
cities = ["Beijing", "Shanghai", "Guangzhou", "Shenzhen", "Chengdu"]
results = weather.batch_get_weather(cities)

for city, data in results.items():
    if "error" not in data:
        print(f"{city}: {data['temperature']}°C, {data['condition']}")

实战：天气预警推送系统


这是一个完整的天气预警系统，当检测到极端天气时自动发送通知。

import requests
from datetime import datetime

class WeatherAlertSystem:
    def __init__(self, api_key, webhook_url):
        self.api_key = api_key
        self.webhook_url = webhook_url
        self.alert_rules = {
            "high_temp": 35,      # 高温预警：35°C以上
            "low_temp": -10,      # 低温预警：-10°C以下
            "heavy_rain": 80,     # 暴雨预警：降雨概率80%以上
            "strong_wind": 50     # 大风预警：风速50km/h以上
        }
    
    def check_alerts(self, city):
        """检查是否需要发送预警"""
        url = "http://api.weatherapi.com/v1/forecast.json"
        params = {
            "key": self.api_key,
            "q": city,
            "days": 1,
            "alerts": "yes"
        }
        
        response = requests.get(url, params=params, timeout=5)
        data = response.json()
        
        alerts = []
        current = data["current"]
        forecast = data["forecast"]["forecastday"][0]["day"]
        
        # 检查高温
        if current["temp_c"] >= self.alert_rules["high_temp"]:
            alerts.append(f"🌡️ 高温预警：当前温度 {current['temp_c']}°C，请注意防暑降温")
        
        # 检查低温
        if current["temp_c"] <= self.alert_rules["low_temp"]:
            alerts.append(f"❄️ 低温预警：当前温度 {current['temp_c']}°C，请注意保暖")
        
        # 检查暴雨
        if forecast["daily_chance_of_rain"] >= self.alert_rules["heavy_rain"]:
            alerts.append(f"🌧️ 暴雨预警：今日降雨概率 {forecast['daily_chance_of_rain']}%")
        
        # 检查大风
        if current["wind_kph"] >= self.alert_rules["strong_wind"]:
            alerts.append(f"💨 大风预警：当前风速 {current['wind_kph']} km/h")
        
        # 检查官方天气预警
        if "alerts" in data and "alert" in data["alerts"]:
            for alert in data["alerts"]["alert"]:
                alerts.append(f"⚠️ 官方预警：{alert['headline']}")
        
        return alerts
    
    def send_notification(self, city, alerts):
        """发送预警通知（示例用企业微信webhook）"""
        if not alerts:
            return
        
        message = f"【天气预警】{city}
"
        message += "
".join(alerts)
        message += f"

更新时间：{datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')}"
        
        payload = {
            "msgtype": "text",
            "text": {"content": message}
        }
        
        try:
            response = requests.post(self.webhook_url, json=payload, timeout=5)
            return response.status_code == 200
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"发送通知失败: {e}")
            return False

# 使用示例
alert_system = WeatherAlertSystem(
    api_key="your_api_key",
    webhook_url="https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/webhook/send?key=your_key"
)

# 检查北京天气预警
alerts = alert_system.check_alerts("Beijing")
if alerts:
    alert_system.send_notification("北京", alerts)
    print(f"已发送 {len(alerts)} 条预警")
else:
    print("暂无预警")

天气API选型的核心建议


根据我的实战经验，给出以下建议：

个人项目/原型验证： 选 WeatherAPI。100万次/月的免费额度足够用，响应速度快，数据准确。

商业项目/高准确性要求： 选 AccuWeather。虽然免费额度少，但数据最准，适合对天气精度要求高的场景（如农业、物流）。

全球覆盖优先： 选 OpenWeatherMap。在欧美地区的数据质量更好，适合出海应用。

关键优化技巧：

1. 必须做缓存。 天气数据10-15分钟更新一次就够了，没必要每次都请求API。缓存能帮你节省90%的调用次数。

2. 批量查询优于单次查询。 如果需要多个城市的数据，尽量用批量接口，减少HTTP请求开销。

3. 异常处理要完善。 天气API偶尔会因为网络问题超时，要做好重试和降级方案。

4. 关注官方预警。 WeatherAPI和AccuWeather都提供官方天气预警数据，比你自己判断更可靠。

总结


天气API的选择没有绝对的好坏，只有适不适合你的场景。WeatherAPI在免费额度、响应速度和准确性上取得了最好的平衡，是我个人最推荐的选择。

所有文中提到的天气API都可以在 Free API Hub 上找到详细的接口文档和在线测试工具。建议先在平台上对比测试，选择最适合你项目需求的API。
