An API key for WeatherAPI.com is included in the project to simplify the review process. This key will be revoked after the review is completed to ensure security. You can replace it with your own API key by modifying the Requests enum in API.swift:

let parameters: [String: Encodable] = [
    "key": "your_api_key_here",
    "q": city
]
