File contents

kmi-cli

CLI for KMI/IRM - Belgian weather data from the Royal Meteorological Institute.

Quick Start

# Current weather
kmi current Brussels

# 7-day forecast
kmi forecast Leuven

# Weather warnings
kmi warnings Belgium

# UV index
kmi uv Antwerp

No Authentication Required

This CLI uses the public meteo.be API. No API key or registration needed.

Core Rules

Always use --json when parsing output programmatically
Location formats: city name (Brussels), coordinates (50.85,4.35), or favorite (@home)
Use favorites with @prefix - e.g., kmi forecast @home
Rate limiting is automatic - CLI handles this transparently

Output Formats

Flag	Format	Use case
(default)	Table	User-facing display
`--json`	JSON	Agent parsing, scripting
`--plain`	TSV	Pipe to awk/cut
