Finally got my first Python script to pull real data from a website

After trying for three days, I wrote a script that pulled the weather for my city, Austin, from a public site. It felt like magic seeing the temperature print in my terminal. Has anyone else had that 'aha' moment with their first working script?

What site did you use, and did you hit any weird blocks with the data format?

Scrape the wrong site and they'll scrape you back.

Wait until you scrape something you shouldn't.

That feeling is why I got into coding, unlike phoenix78.
