Build a Weather App in Django | Scrape Weather Data from Google | Beautiful Soup | Python Requests

In this video, we are gonna be building a weather application in Django. We will be using beautiful soup python library to fetch the weather data from google. We will also make use of Python requests library to make a request to the url and fetch the response html document. This is what we are going to do to build a weather app in Django in short:

1) Create a project directory.
2) Make a virtual environment (virtualenv)
3) Create a new django project.
4) Make a django application named core.
5) Set up basic urls.
6) Initially, set up a view which renders an html page.
7) Build a basic html and css template.
8) Make a request to google url and fetch the response html page using Python requests library.
9) Leverage Beautiful Soup Library to scrape the data from the html page such as region, day time, temperature etc.
10) Refactor the view and html template.
11) Overview of external weather API available such as openweathermap API.

Hey. Great video, really easy to follow, thank you. You're probably sick of this question already but I'm getting the same attribute error as a lot of people below. Tried wrapping it in a try/except, checked the selectors are up to date, and even added the recent sleep suggestion. Still nothing.

result['region'] = soup.find("div", attrs={"id": "wob_loc"}).text

Very new to Django and coding in general so haven't been able to solve it myself. Any other suggestions?

Really cool Jasim, I'll have to spend some time playing around with this code. I love seeing how others code similar applications.

[allenunicruz]

Bro you're the best this actually works thank you so much !!!! please create more videos like this thank you so much god blessed you 😊😊😊

Towards the end, in home.html, you used the 'IF' jinja tag to check whether 'WEATHER' is true or not inorder to print the output. I had a doubt here because shouldn't it return an error because you didn't initialise weather to false before? And thus it won't know what that 'WEATHER' condition is.
Sorry if i missed something obvious. Thanks for the help. It was a great video.

Brilliant! Right pace, right explanations - subscribed! Video request: create apis using django: for example a histogram app from an open-source dataset.

[rohitbhapkar]

Thank You so much bro ..You are a life saver just exactly what i wanted.. One suggestion - In the title it says beautiful so if you can just update the html doc and make it more pretty it will look just fabulous
Keep up the good work :)
