NEA API Wrapper

Wrapper for the National Environment Agency of Singapore's Data API.

Disclaimer: This wrapper is NOT an official wrapper and do not attempt to represent NEA in anyway.

About

This wrapper has the following functions:

• get_pm25()
• get_2hr_nowcast()
• get_24hrs_forecast()
• get_4days_outlook()
• get_heavy_rain_warning()
• get_uvi()
• get_earthquake()
• get_psi_update()

All functions return an OrderedDict object which you can manipulate. The structure of the OrderedDict is the same as the original XML output.
