R connector for Meteomatics Weather API
Budget: €750 – €1,500 EUR
At Meteomatics, we focus on the processing and provision of high quality weather data as well as the development of meteorological software products. Our main product is the Meteomatics Weather API (https://www.meteomatics.com/en/weather-api/), that allows to download all kinds of weather data (satellite images, numerical weather model output, observation data, radar data, etc.). The API is a simple Rest API and by defining a URL, you get the data you need (see https://api.meteomatics.com). To make it easier for customers to use the data, we want to integrate as simple as possible into their existing infrastructure. To do so, we created data connectors (https://www.meteomatics.com/en/api/data-connectors/) that allow very quick and easy access to our data within the customer's favorite tool or programming language. Several connectors are available, e.g. the Python connector with a larger feature set comprising almost all features of the API, some with less, e.g. the Javascript Connector, that is not more than a few examples.
The goal of this project is to create a connector to our API in RUST, with the same feature set than the Python connector (https://www.meteomatics.com/en/api/data-connectors/#python). It is important that the connector handles the data access method 'the Rust-way', meaning the data types that are common in Rust should be used and for a Rust programmer, it should be as simple as possible to access data from the Meteomatics API. The code must in the end be owned and further maintained or extended by Meteomatics and will be hosted on Meteomatics' Github account for our customers to be downloaded.
