🖥️ Raspberry Pi Home API Project with Express & Flask + E-Paper Weather Display

Welcome to this Raspberry Pi project! In this video, we build and run two home APIs using:
🌐 Express (Node.js) for weather, time zone, and system diagnostics
🐍 Flask (Python) for RSS feed aggregation

We also showcase a Waveshare E-paper Display that outputs weather data in a clean, structured layout.

🔧 Express Weather API Features:
Uses open-meteo.com & sunrise-sunset.org
Routes modularized for clarity
Defaults to London if no coordinates provided
Returns hourly forecast for the current day
Includes a time zone API for location-aware forecasts
Raspberry Pi diagnostics route (CPU temp, OS info)
Help route with usage examples
Outputs structured JSON with labelled fields

📰 Flask RSS Feed API Features:
Pulls and filters News & Tech headlines
Combines 3 feeds into one list
Customizable item count (default: 10)
Supports specific feed targeting via parameters
Help route included
Outputs clean, labelled JSON

⚙️ Startup & Automation:
Both APIs auto-run at boot via crontab
E-paper display updates every 20 minutes

📺 E-Paper Display Highlights:
Python script handles rendering
Layout: top (date/sunrise/sunset), centre (current weather), bottom (5-hour forecast)
Red borders, black text, white background
Data pulled from the Express weather API
Includes last updated timestamp
Wind speed converted to mph, time in 24-hour format
Modular rendering functions for easy updates

📝 Logging:
All API pulls and errors logged to a text file

🎬 Stick around for the demo at the end—see the E-paper screen in action. Thanks for watching!
