class avwx.Nbs(code: str)
Class to handle NBM NBS report data
Below is typical usage for fetching and pulling Nbs data for KJFK.
>>> from avwx import Nbs
>>> kjfk = Nbs("KJFK")
>>> kjfk.station.name
'John F Kennedy International Airport'
>>> kjfk.update()
True
>>> kjfk.last_updated
datetime.datetime(2020, 7, 28, 1, 3, 46, 447635, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
>>> print(kjfk.raw)
