`pyiqvia` is an async-focused Python3 library for allergen, asthma, and disease data from
the [IQVIAâ„¢][iqvia] family of websites (such as [Pollen.com][pollen],
[FluStar][flustar], and more).

# Python Versions
`pyiqvia` is currently supported on:
- Python 3.10
- Python 3.11
- Python 3.12
# Installation
```bash
pip install pyiqvia
```
# Usage
```python
import asyncio
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from pyiqvia import Client
async def main() -> None:
"""Run!"""
# Note that ZIP codes must be provided as strings:
client = Client("80012")
# Get current allergen information:
await client.allergens.current()
# Get more information on the current allergen outlook:
await client.allergens.outlook()
# Get extended forecast allergen information:
await client.allergens.extended()
# Get historic allergen information:
await client.allergens.historic()
# Get current asthma information:
await client.asthma.current()
# Get extended forecast asthma information:
await client.asthma.extended()
# Get historic asthma information:
await client.asthma.historic()
# Get current cold and flu information:
await client.disease.current()
# Get extended forecast cold and flu information:
await client.disease.extended()
# Get historic cold and flu information:
await client.disease.historic()
asyncio.run(main())
```
## Retries
By default, `pyiqvia` will retry appropriate errors 4 times (with an exponentially
increasing delay in-between). This logic can be changed by passing a different value for
`request_retries` to the `Client` constructor:
```python
import asyncio
from pyiqvia import Client
async def main():
client = Client("80012", request_retries=5)
# ...
asyncio.run(main())
```
## Connection Pooling
By default, the library creates a new connection to IQVIA with each coroutine. If you
are calling a large number of coroutines (or merely want to squeeze out every second of
runtime savings possible), an [`aiohttp`][aiohttp] `ClientSession` can be used for
connection pooling:
```python
import asyncio
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from pyiqvia import Client
async def main() -> None:
"""Run!"""
async with ClientSession() as session:
client = Client("80012", session=session)
# ...
asyncio.run(main())
```
