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.

timeSpan
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:

timeSpan
timeSpan expects a hour instead of a day. So instead of:
{
start: '20100401',
end: '20190401'
}You need to pass in:
{
start: '2010040101',
end: '2019040112'
