Python + OpenWeatherMap + Flet: 'daily' error

Question

I tried to make my small weather app, following the tutorial, but faced with a problem: OpenWeatherMap wouldn't give me a name of the day (watch the tutorial from my timecode to see my wanted result).

The tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OEyYTdEah4&t=2921s (timecode 56:35)

Parts of my code:

The main one

    def _bot_data():
        _bot_data = []
        #range is a number of days for forecast => limited by the API key
        for index in range(1, 8):
            _bot_data.append(
                Row(
                    spacing=5,
                    alignment="spaceBetween",
                    controls=[
                        Row(
                            expand=1,
                            alignment="start",
                            controls=[
                                Container(
                                    alignment=alignment.center,
                                    content=Text(
                                        #week day display
                                        datetime.datetime.weekday(
                                            datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(
                                                response['daily'][index]['dt']
                                            )
                                        )
                                    )
                                )
                            ]
                        )
                    ]
                )
            )
        return _bot_data


    def _bottom():
        _bot_column = Column(
            alignment="center",
            horizontal_alignment="center",
            spacing=25,
        )

        for data in _bot_data():
            _bot_column.controls.append(data)


        bottom = Container(
            padding=padding.only(top=280, left=20, right=20, bottom=20),
            content=_bot_column
        )
        return bottom`

The requests part

API_KEY = "my API key"
BASE_URL = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?"
CITY = "Minsk"
COUNTRY = "BY"
days_en = ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun']
days = days_en

url = BASE_URL + "appid=" + API_KEY + "&q=" + CITY
response = requests.get(url).json()

My libraries

import datetime
import flet as ft
from flet import *
import requests
import datetime as dt
import math

And the error, what I have got:

  File "C:\Users\bande\Documents\PycharmProjects\weather_app\main.py", line 290, in _bot_data
    response['daily'][index]['dt']
    ~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'daily'

My main question is: how to fix my code (or just a request) to get days names from OpenWeatherMap (for example: today is Saturday and I wanna get the next list - Saturday, Sunday, Monday and etc.). Exactly from OpenWeatherMap, not from datetime library.

When I tried to change the request to responce['dt'], I have got days what I need, but in the list of days each day was repeated a large number of times. I'm upset and tired :(

Answer 1

Finally I found a solution to the problem. OpenWeatnerMap has several API calls forms. I requested using the name of the city, but to get a forecast for several days you need to request using latitude and longitude (another API call form).

The solution should looks like this: Requesting latitude and longitude through the name of the city, and then write this data into variables and paste it into another API request form. Voila.

Example of API call:

https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat=33.44&lon=-94.04&exclude=hourly,daily&appid={API key}
