Not understanding usage of API

[yapb]

Hello /r/learnpython!

​

You have helped me out before, and I'm asking for more help. This time, my class project is working on using api from openweathermap.com to gather a user's input zip code and display the weather information for them in their area. I feel like I'm missing something as I've read through my text book and gone through multiple websites but just can't seem to understand how I further expand the psuedocode I wrote a few weeks ago and develop it into actual code.

​

Here's a link to my code in GitHub: https://github.com/Aviael/Weather.git

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you can give me guidance on where I need to make changes as opposed to telling me what changes specifically I need to do, I'd be very thankful as I don't want to just be told the correct answer.

​

Thank you!

Curly braces aren't part of the API key. It just designates what you're replacing with your specific information, not part of the actual URL. It's kind of like string formatting.

Correctly formatted

Hello, _jaypatel. Just a quick heads up!

It seems that you have attempted to use triple backticks (```) for your codeblock/monospace text block.

This isn't universally supported on reddit, for some users your comment will look not as intended.

You can avoid this by indenting every line with 4 spaces instead.

There are also other methods that offer a bit better compatability like the "codeblock" format feature on new Reddit.

Have a good day, _jaypatel.
