Collect Weather Data with Python (Free API open-meteo + Scheduler Tutorial)
Hi everyone! In this video, I’ll show you how to collect real-time weather data using a free API and store it automatically using Python.
This is super useful if you’re building:
A weather app 🌤️
A dashboard or map visualization 📊
Or just learning how APIs work in real projects
API URLs :
Get the coordinates for a named location :
https://geocoding-api.open-meteo.com/...
Get the forecast for the latitude and longitude :
https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecas...
What you’ll learn:
How to get latitude & longitude from a city name
How to call a weather API (JSON data)
Using Command Prompt (curl) or browser
Fetching API data with Python (requests)
Writing data to a text file (append mode)
Fixing common issues (like missing newline)
Automating collection using Windows Task Scheduler ⏱️
By the end, you’ll have a simple data collection pipeline that logs weather every 15 minutes!
You can extend this by:
Saving to a database
Building dashboards
Creating charts & analytics
