deprecated

• unfortunately this code uses old end points and will need to be updated

ndbcbuoy.py

A python package to scrape NDBC NOAA data, display recent wave heights, or send a text based on user preferences. ie.) If the waves are over 3 feet you can configure the program to send a text message with the wave height/period.

• BuoyData() : instantiate a buoy number
• BuoyData.send_sms(): send a SMS based off user height preference
• BuoyData.set_buoy(buoy#): change the buoy URL
• BuoyData.display_wave_data(): matplotlib chart of recent swell data

wavemaps.py

Simple prompt to test ndbcbuoy.BuoyData functionality

Twilio

• twilio - Requires a twilio.com account for auth_token and account_sid in "send_text.py" ( https://www.twilio.com/try-twilio )

Usage

• If you have git installed, run [ git clone https://github.com/CloudsWeight/wavemaps ]
• Edit"send_text.py" with your auth_token and account_sid values.
• Then cd into Wave-Maps and run main.py file from the command line [ python3 run.py ]

Concepts

Using data structured like this: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/46224.txt

• Pull down data from a .txt
• Clean data using a dictionary and pandas DataFrame
• Run tests on clean data
• Display clean data
• Send a text message if the data passes our tests.

In The Works

Working to display swell height and period inormation in an interactive chart with Django and Highcharts.
