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:

NEWS_API_KEY=your_news_api_key
TODOIST_API_KEY=your_todoist_api_key
WEATHER_API_KEY=your_weather_api_key
EMAIL_SENDER=your_email@outlook.com
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
todoist_api_python==2.1.3

Usage

Simply clone the repository, set up your .env file with the necessary keys and credentials, ensure all requirements are installed, and execute the script to start receiving your daily morning updates.
