🚀 Installation & Deployment

1. Set Up Environment

Ensure you have Python 3.10 or higher installed.

# Install required packages
pip install flask flask-cors requests beautifulsoup4

2. Launch the API

☁️ Cloud Deployment (Render, Heroku, etc.)

If you want to host this API on platforms like Render, Heroku, or Railway, you need to follow these specific steps:

1. Add requirements.txt

Make sure your repository has a requirements.txt file in the root directory. gunicorn is mandatory for production cloud deployment. Create or update your file to look exactly like this:

Flask
flask-cors
requests
beautifulsoup4
gunicorn

2. Deployment Commands (For Render)

When deploying, make sure to configure the following settings in your deployment dashboard:

• Build Command: bash

  pip install -r requirements.txt
  
  

• Start Command: Cloud platforms use gunicorn to run Flask apps in production. Enter the following in the Start Command input box:

  gunicorn app:app
  

(Note: If your main python file is named main.py instead of app.py, use gunicorn main:app instead).
