python manage.py runserver

Features

This program includes the following features:

A user-defined function called get_key for 'secret.py' where the API key is stored in the variable API_KEY and returns the value of the API key to the main code.
```
def get_key():
    API_KEY = "Your API Key"
    return API_KEY
```
The geocoding function is used to get the latitude and longitude of a given city.
The program utilizes the OpenWeatherMap API to retrieve weather data.
The program constructs the URL for the Weather API call and retrieves the response from it.
