        # Automate Your Morning Using Python

Automate your mornings with Python by receiving an email that compiles your daily news, weather, and to-do list. This script utilizes various APIs to gather your morning information and sends it to your Outlook email, ensuring you start your day informed and organized.

## Video Tutorial (Coming soon!)

## How It Works

1. **API Integration:** The script pulls live data from news, weather, and to-do APIs.

2. **Email Automation:** Compiles the data into a friendly morning message and sends it to your Outlook email via SMTP.

3. **Python Anywhere Hosting:** The script can be hosted on PythonAnywhere for consistent daily updates.

## Prerequisites

To use this script, you must have an `.env` file with your API keys and email credentials:

```

WEATHER_API_KEY=your_weather_api_key

[email protected]

EMAIL_PASSWORD=your_password

```

Additionally, ensure the following Python packages are installed as per `requirements.txt`:

```

python-dotenv==1.0.0

Requests==2.31.0
