Details

This will query station data from the Weather Weather Group API. For the full documentation, see https://api.westernwx.com/docs/

To use the WWG API, you must have an API key. If your account has API access, you can manage your API Keys from https://app.westernwx.com/apikeys. When you generate a new key, it will give you an Id, Secret, and a Key.

If you pass a value for cache_dir, downloaded data will be saved in that location. The function however does not clear the cache_dir upon closing, so it is recommended you use a temporary directory.
