Python Requests Tutorial - How to Call a Weather API

In this video I'll use the Requests library in Python to connect to a Weather API to get the current temperature. This video uses Flask to display the pages.

Five years later and this is still the best video explaining how to do this in simple terms for us noobs out of the 20 or so I have watched. Thanks!

very clear and to the point. I really enjoyed it. I like the way you explain things. Thanks for this great video!

Thanks so much. This is the best Python API tutorial I've seen

09:15 haha, I have watched some dozens of hours of Python tutorial videos in the past few years, but I have never seen this "unexpected indent" error in them (which I see really often on my own computer, and alvays thought that it's my fault) now I finally know I'm not the only one, and that backspace + tab is the proper method of correcting it :)

The tutorial itself is really useful, thanks!

Wow, thanks alot man. I've been trying to do a very similar thing with Flask some time ago, but couldn't figure out how to do it since I'm not that experienced with Flask or Python for that matter. I've made weather apps with Python before, just not combined with Flask. This video really helped me out and made me want to continue my project again! Thank you.

Nice explanation. Can you please do a video on python requests to Odata?

[vyviannellira]

Hello, can you please tell me how to do the 'render_template' and 'request.form' function while using Falcon framework instead of flask framework? Please help me !!!

This is a great tutorial. Do you have something on how to store this API data and then use it for visualisation?

[shuklidon]

Great video. how did you create the server ? - appreciate if you can refer to a video

If you add "&units=imperial" to your URL, you wouldn't need the conversion variable. Nice tut

[aattaboy]

Are you using Wubi to run python? I'm having a hard time finding instructions to run it the way you are. Can you give me any suggestions?

[stevenmeyers]

I wrote the same method to convert to Fahrenheit in an app I made. Then I later realized you can pass an argument to the OpenWeather call to convert the units!

Hi man, how did you get your scripts to run on a webpage. 'Run python file in terminal' isn't working for me

[andyhussain]

[mariacasa]

[geezwhiskas]

is there an alternative to coding the API key directly in your code?
