buienalarm

This is a super-simple library to scrape Buienalarm.nl for projected rainfall.

Currently just provides the following interface for scraping projected rainfall for a location in the next two hours:

>> result = Buienalarm::Scraper.scrape("rotterdam")
=> {:location=>"Rotterdam", :rainfall=>[{:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T09:40:00+02:00 ((2457511j,27600s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T09:45:00+02:00 ((2457511j,27900s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T09:50:00+02:00 ((2457511j,28200s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T09:55:00+02:00 ((2457511j,28500s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T10:00:00+02:00 ((2457511j,28800s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T10:05:00+02:00 ((2457511j,29100s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T10:10:00+02:00 ((2457511j,29400s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T10:15:00+02:00 ((2457511j,29700s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T10:20:00+02:00 ((2457511j,30000s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T10:25:00+02:00 ((2457511j,30300s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T10:30:00+02:00 ((2457511j,30600s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T10:35:00+02:00 ((2457511j,30900s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T10:40:00+02:00 ((2457511j,31200s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T10:45:00+02:00 ((2457511j,31500s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T10:50:00+02:00 ((2457511j,31800s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T10:55:00+02:00 ((2457511j,32100s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T11:00:00+02:00 ((2457511j,32400s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T11:05:00+02:00 ((2457511j,32700s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T11:10:00+02:00 ((2457511j,33000s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T11:15:00+02:00 ((2457511j,33300s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T11:20:00+02:00 ((2457511j,33600s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T11:25:00+02:00 ((2457511j,33900s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T11:30:00+02:00 ((2457511j,34200s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T11:35:00+02:00 ((2457511j,34500s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}, {:time=>#<DateTime: 2016-05-02T11:40:00+02:00 ((2457511j,34800s,0n),+7200s,2299161j)>, :rainfall=>0.0003924189758484536, :level=>"none"}]}

Also provides script/scrape to test this from the command line:

$ script/scrape rotterdam
