Introduction

The wind-energy-index service is available as a global service - providing reliable wind-index information for any part of the world.

Python - Installation

The simplest way to use the EMDAPI with python is to install the client software in a virtual environment. If you are using CONDA or MINICONDA, we recommend that you create a new virtual environment and use a recent 3.x version of python. When the virtual environment is created, then activate the environment.

Open your Anaconda Prompt. Copy-paste the following lines:

conda create -n emdapiclient python=3.8.5
conda activate emdapiclient

Install the required packages needed in order to do data-science and use the examples provided within the jupyter notebooks. We have have validated this setup using specific package versions (used in the commands below).

In the Anaconda Prompt, copy-paste the following lines, one by one:

conda install -c conda-forge pandas=1.1.0 numpy=1.19.1
conda install -c conda-forge matplotlib=3.3.1 basemap=1.2.2 basemap-data-hires=1.2.2 
conda install -c conda-forge jupyter=1.0.0 ipykernel=5.3.4 
conda install -c conda-forge python-wget

Download the zipped-file holding the OpenAPI python client.
Unpack the file and install it within your virtual environment:

In the Anaconda Prompt: Move to the folder, where you have unpacked the zipped file. Copy-paste the following line:

python setup.py install

Make sure that the new emdapi virtual enviroment (python-kernel) is available to be used with jupyter-notebook environment:

python -m ipykernel install --user --name=emdapiclient
