Build YOUR OWN Weather App in Python with Flask (COMPLETE Beginner Tutorial)
Do you want to build your own weather app in Python? In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of creating a weather app using the Flask framework.
Flask is a lightweight and easy-to-use web framework for Python. It is perfect for beginners who are looking to build web applications. With Flask, you can create a weather app that retrieves weather data from an API and displays it to the user.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
- Python installed on your computer
- Pip installed for Python package management
Step 1: Install Flask
To begin, you will need to install the Flask framework. Open a terminal and run the following command:
pip install flask
Step 2: Create a New Python File
Create a new Python file for your weather app. You can name it app.py or any other name you prefer.
Step 3: Write Your Flask App
Write the code for your Flask app. Here is a simple example to get you started:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return 'Hello, This is my weather app!'
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
Step 4: Get Weather Data
Now, you will need to get weather data from a weather API. There are many weather APIs available, such as OpenWeatherMap or WeatherStack. Choose one that you prefer and sign up for an API key.
Step 5: Display Weather Information
Once you have retrieved weather data from the API, you can display it to the user in your Flask app. You can create an HTML template to format the weather information and render it in your app.
Step 6: Run Your App
Finally, you can run your weather app by executing the following command in your terminal:
python app.py
Your app will be up and running, and you can access it through your web browser.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully built your own weather app in Python with Flask. This tutorial is a great starting point for beginners who want to learn how to create web applications with Python. You can further customize and enhance your weather app to make it even more functional and user-friendly.
Can we set clean transitions on this jinja data returns??
Great tutorial, thanks
The Toronto ON and Canada values are hard coded hence this code doesn't work for any other cities
this is awesome
very interesting
thanks for teaching🙂🙂
Awesome tutorial! I learned a lot and had a great time sitting down and making this for a few days. I know openweather also has api calls for the Air Quality Index. If I wanted to add this or other calls from the same source, would there be additional modifications that I would need to make other than making another def similar to the weather one outlined?
Really nice!
Can u share the github link?
