Asynchronous Python client for [Solcast][solcast].

## About

[Solcast][solcast] provides solar radiation and solar power forecasts, estimated and
historical data. This package allows you to get the data from the [API][solcast-api]
and use it in your own application.

> [!NOTE]
> This package is still in development and rooftop forecast is not yet implemented.

## Installation

```bash
pip install solcast-pv
```

## Datasets

- List of all your created rooftop sites linked to your account.
- Get rate limits for your account.

### Rooftop Site

**Note**: _requesting the list of all your created rooftop sites linked to your account, will not affect your daily rate limit._

| Name | Type | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :---------- |
| `name` | `str` | The name of the rooftop site. |
| `resource_id` | `str` | The unique identifier of the rooftop site. |
| `install_date` | `datetime` | The installation date of your solar panels. |
| `capacity` | `float` | The capacity of the solar panels. |
| `capacity_dc` | `float` | The capacity of the solar panels in DC. |
| `azimuth` | `int` | The azimuth of the solar panels. |
| `tilt` | `int` | The tilt of the solar panels. |
| `loss_factor` | `float` | The loss factor of the solar panels. |

### Rate Limits

**Note**: _requesting the rate limits for your account will not affect your daily rate limit._

| Name | Type | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :---------- |
| `daily_limit` | `int` | The daily limit of API calls. |
| `remaining_daily` | `int` | The remaining daily limit of API calls. |
| `consumed_daily` | `int` | How many API calls you have consumed today. |
</details>

### Example

```python
import asyncio

from solcast_pv import Solcast, RooftopSite


async def main() -> None:
    """Show example on using this package."""
    async with Solcast(token="API_KEY") as client:
        rooftops: list[RooftopSite] = await client.get_rooftop_sites()
        print(rooftops)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

More examples can be found in the [examples folder](./examples/).

## Contributing

This is an active open-source project. We are always open to people who want to
use the code or contribute to it.

We've set up a separate document for our
[contribution guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).

Thank you for being involved! :heart_eyes:

## Setting up development environment

The simplest way to begin is by utilizing the [Dev Container][devcontainer]
feature of Visual Studio Code or by opening a CodeSpace directly on GitHub.
By clicking the button below you immediately start a Dev Container in Visual Studio Code.

[![Open in Dev Containers][devcontainer-shield]][devcontainer]

This Python project relies on [Poetry][poetry] as its dependency manager,
providing comprehensive management and control over project dependencies.

You need at least:

- Python 3.11+
- [Poetry][poetry-install]

Install all packages, including all development requirements:

```bash
poetry install
```

Poetry creates by default an virtual environment where it installs all
necessary pip packages, to enter or exit the venv run the following commands:

```bash
poetry shell
exit
```

Setup the pre-commit check, you must run this inside the virtual environment:

```bash
pre-commit install
```

*Now you're all set to get started!*

As this repository uses the [pre-commit][pre-commit] framework, all changes
are linted and tested with each commit. You can run all checks and tests
manually, using the following command:

```bash
poetry run pre-commit run --all-files
```

To run just the Python tests:

```bash
poetry run pytest
```

To update the [syrupy](https://github.com/tophat/syrupy) snapshot tests:

```bash
poetry run pytest --snapshot-update
```
