const knmi = require('node-knmi-fetch')
// TypeScript
import * as knmi from 'node-knmi-fetch' Methods
knmi.days
knmi.days(stationCode, variables, timeSpan, inSeason)Gets and returns daily average data from a knmi station.
Returns a Promise which resolves in an array of objects; one for each day.
stationCode
Number or string or an array of numbers or strings
The code of the station you want to get data from. Station codes can be found here.
variables
String or array of strings or null
The variables you want to get from the station. From the kmni docs (Dutch).
Null will return all available variables.
You can also specify a collection of variables using the following identifiers:
WIND = DDVEC:FG:FHX:FHX:FX wind
TEMP = TG:TN:TX:T10N temperature
SUNR = SQ:SP:Q Sunshine duration and global radiation

PRES = PG:PGX:PGN pressure at sea level
VICL = VVN:VVX:NG visibility and clouds
MSTR = UG:UX:UN humidity
ALL = All variables
Default is ALL.You can also specify individual variables.

object
Object with the keys start and end which contain strings in the following format: YYYYMMDD.
Start will default to the first day of the current month.
End will default to the current day, or the last day for which there is data.
Example:
{
start: '20190128',
end: '20191117'
}inSeason
boolean
If true, timeSpan cannot be undefined. Data will be returned only for the days between start and end date for the given years.
Example:
Consider the following timeSpan:
{
start: '20100401',
end: '20190401'
}If inSeason is true, this will return data for every first of april between 2010 and 2019.

Data will be returned in the following format:

]knmi.hours
knmi.hours(stationCode, variables, timeSpan, inSeason)Gets and returns daily average data from a knmi station.
Returns a Promise which resolves in an array of objects; one for each hour.
Works the same as the knmi.days() method, with 2 small differences.

end: '20190401'
}You need to pass in:
