Pulling weather forecast and other weather data using the bsrch function

I am using the bsrch function is excel to pull weather data

=BSRCH("comdty:weather","provider=wsi","location=KNYC","model=actuals","target_start_date=2019-01-01","target_end_date=2019-05-10","fields=TEMPERATURE")

It does its job and pulls the data.

However, I am trying to pull the same data using the python api. Assuming that con.bsrch() functions in a similar fashion, I tried doing the same in python but that doesn’t work

Even the following code returns an empty data frame

con.bsrch("comdty:weather")

However, the following example returns a list of tickers

con.bsrch("COMDTY:NGFLOW")

I am not sure why. Can someone please help me with this issue

Thanks!

I think the schema is clear. All optional parameters go into the overrides element array.

The requested formula corresponds to below request:

ExcelGetGridRequest = {
    Domain = "COMDTY:Weather"
    Overrides[] = {
        Overrides = {
            name = "provider"
            value = "wsi"
        }
        Overrides = {
            name = "location"
            value = "KNYC"
        }
        Overrides = {
            name = "model"
            value = "actuals"
        }
        Overrides = {
            name = "target_start_date"
            value = "2019-01-01"
        }
        Overrides = {
            name = "target_end_date"
            value = "2019-05-10"
        }
        Overrides = {
            name = "fields"
            value = "TEMPERATURE"
        }
    }
}

The limit in another post can be set in the same way.

And you will get below response:

GridResponse = {
    NumOfFields = 2
    NumOfRecords = 3116
    ColumnTitles[] = {
        "Reported Time", "Temperature (°C)"
    }
    DataRecords[] = {
        DataRecords = {
            DataFields[] = {
                DataFields = {
                    DateTimeValue = 2019-01-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
                }
                DataFields = {
                    DoubleValue = 6.700000
                }
            }
        }
        DataRecords = {
            DataFields[] = {
                DataFields = {
                    DateTimeValue = 2019-01-01T01:00:00.000+00:00
                }
                DataFields = {
                    DoubleValue = 6.700000
                }
            }
        }
...
...
        DataRecords = {
            DataFields[] = {
                DataFields = {
                    DateTimeValue = 2019-05-10T23:00:00.000+00:00
                }
                DataFields = {
                    DoubleValue = 22.200000
                }
            }
        }
    }
    ReachMax = true
    SequenceNumber = 0
}

I think the bsrch_weather function was never part of the bdblp source repo… Presumably you’ve reinstalled the package and thereby deleted the function from your modified copy? Should work again if you copy the code back into the BCon class of your installation,
