Django Weather API Project

A simple Django project that fetches and displays weather data using the Open-meteo API.

Features

• Fetch current weather data from the Open-meteo API
• User input for location (latitude & longitude) or the name of the city
• Focus on clean backend architecture using Django

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Django 4.x
• requests library

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

How It Works

1. User submits a location (latitude and longitude) or the name of the city.
2. Backend sends a GET request to the Open-meteo API.
3. Parsed weather data is returned to the user as JSON or rendered on a template.

Example Open-meteo endpoint:

https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=52.52&longitude=13.41&current_weather=true
