An SMS-based Weather App using Twilio, geopy, Flask, Forecast.io and Heroku. Text a number, get the weather.

Installation

Dependencies

Register here. Note your API key, and update line 60 of telltale.py with it!

Heroku Setup

First, create an account at Heroku. Then, follow these instructions. Skip the section titled "Start Flask app inside a Virtualenv" and go to "Deploy your application to Heroku" -- the app already exists! Note the URL for the app you've just created.

Twilio API Setup

Ahoy hoy! Create an account, create a number, and point Twilio at your Heroku app by going to the numbers page and entering your app's URL in the "Request URL" field under the "SMS" section.
