This tutorial will show you how to use the weatherstack.com API with Python.

  • The weatherstack.com API provides access to weather data for a variety of locations around the world.
  • The weatherstack.com API can be used to retrieve weather data for a specific location, or it can be used to retrieve weather data for all locations.
  • The weatherstack.com API also provides access to weather forecasts for a specific location.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to use the weatherstack.com API with Python.

First, you will need to sign up for a free account at weatherstack.com. Once you have done so, you will be given an API key.

Next, you will need to install the Python requests library.

This can be done using pip:

pip install requests

Once you have installed the requests library, you can start writing your Python code.

The first thing you will need to do is import the requests library:

import requests 

Next, you will need to set up your API key:

api_key = ‘YOUR_API_KEY’
