This software makes use of the OpenWeather Air Pollution API. Therefore, you will need to get an API Key before being able to get any data from the app.
You can get a key from the OpenWeather website.
Then, you will need to create a .env file in the project folder with the following information and put your key between the quotes.
API_KEY = ""
since .env files usually handle personal data they are ommited from the main repository files
Once you have everything set up, you can start the program by running the following command:
python main.py
The main screen will pop up. Here you can enter the name of any city (preferably in English) and search for the current pollution and air quality.
If the query was succesful, it will show a chart with the current pollution data.
In case that the city doesn't exit or an error ocurred, the following screen will show.
