What is kmi-cli?
The kmi-cli is a specialized utility designed for developers and automation agents to interact with the official Belgian meteorological data provided by meteo.be. As a part of the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, it allows for seamless querying of current conditions, long-term forecasts, and UV indices without requiring an API key. This tool is built to provide high-quality weather data for Belgian locations using a variety of output formats suitable for both terminal display and programmatic processing.
kmi-cli Use Cases
- Automating weather-dependent tasks by monitoring real-time Belgian weather conditions.
- Integrating live forecast data into personal dashboards or AI agent responses.
- Triggering safety alerts based on official weather warnings for specific regions in Belgium.
- Programmatically retrieving UV index data for health and outdoor activity planning.
- Managing a list of favorite locations for quick, repeated weather checks.
How kmi-cli Works
- The user or agent calls the kmi binary with a specific command like current, forecast, or warnings.
- The tool identifies the target location through a city name, geographic coordinates, or a predefined favorite alias.
- It performs a request to the public KMI/IRM API to retrieve the latest meteorological data.
- The response is parsed and formatted into the requested output type, such as a readable table or machine-parsable JSON.
- If the radar command is used, the tool downloads relevant animation frames directly to the user's specified directory.
kmi-cli Setup
To get started with this skill on macOS or Linux, use Homebrew to install the tool from the official tap:
brew install dedene/tap/kmi
For environments with Go installed, you can build it directly from source:
go install github.com/dedene/kmi-irm-cli/cmd/kmi@latest
No authentication or registration is required to start using these Openclaw Skills features.
