wind-scrape

This release updates dependencies to fix a vulnerability present in one of puppeteers dependencies.

This release fixes the timeout errors when using wind-scrape on slow hardware. It will now wait as long as needed.

This release refactors some code & completely rewrites the tests. Now using mocha / chai to test.

Changelog:

• Refactor code
  • Removed unnecessary creation of promises
• Rewrite tests using mocha / chai

Important

scrape.report() has been renamed to scrape.windReport()

All changes

This release add the last update and next update of a windguru forecast model to the scraped data.

This update adds the number of a windguru model to the output.

Fixed wind report error checking.
If a spot doesn't exist or doesn't have a report, this package will now properly return an error.

The package now returns scraped data as numbers instead of strings. So no need to parseInt() on everything.

I also added the ability to scrape windfinder report data for a spot that has such data available.

Full changelog

Changelog

• Added the link of the scraped website to the returned data object

Changelog:

• Removed windguru winddirection rotating by 180 degrees
• Fixed windguru temperature scraping for all models
• Added request timeout error handling
• Fixed parseData.windy() ending a day too soon, resulting in more days than possible.

This version changes the data output to a more usable format.

Note that this is a pre-release. I may change things about the data format and the code for the normal release.

This release uses a different headless browser to scrape windguru & windy.
I switched from nightmare to puppeteer because nightmare doesn't seem to be developed actively. I also hope to get this package working out of the box on windows.

This release adds temperature scraping for windfinder & windguru models.

Scraping wind direction for windfinder also got the wave direction. This is fixed in this patch.

This release contains a few tiny changes and support for scraping windy.com by using

scrape.windy(lat, long)

This (development) release contains the first version of this package.
It can scrape data from windfinder superforecast and public windguru spots.
