Notes about performance

StreamingResponse

Usually StreamingResponse is slower than Response, but it depends on the environment where VWapi is gonna be deployed, run some tests before and after using StreamingResponse and see which one has better performance.

If you want to use StreamingResponse set USE_STREAMING_RESPONSE environment variable to true.

Telegram bot setup

You can also setup your own copy of @visualweatherbot

First, install mogodb, and create directory with database. (If you don't need analytics you can skip this step)

sudo apt install mongodb-server
sudo mkdir /data
sudo mkdir /data/db

Run mongo, copy the connection url, and put it in config.py. Then, talk with @botfather and get your telegram botapi token, you also need to put it in config.py.

Now, form repo directory run:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 bot.py

Your telegram bot is ready.

Localisation

Currently supported languages: "en", "ru" If you wish to add your own language, you can easily edit few lines in /utils/constants.py and make pull request.
