+# Server-Side Example Python Flask
+
+This repository hosts a Python Flask application that demonstrates server-side operations with Flask. This project is structured to provide a straightforward example of how to manage API integrations and environment configurations.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
+- Python 3.6 or higher
+- Poetry for dependency management
+
+## Installation
+
+To install the necessary libraries and setup the project environment, follow these steps:
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/VapiAI/server-side-example-python-flask.git
+2. Navigate to the project directory:
+   ```bash
+    cd server-side-example-python-flask
+3. Install dependencies using Poetry:
+    ```bash
+     poetry install
+## Configuring Environment Variables
+This project requires certain environment variables to be set. Create a .env file in the root directory of your project and add the following keys:
+  
+  ```bash
+  WEATHER_API_KEY=<your_weather_api_key_here>
+  OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_openai_api_key_here>
+  VAPI_BASE_URL=https://api.vapi.ai
+  VAPI_API_KEY=<your_vapi_api_key_here>
+  ```
+
+Replace <your_weather_api_key_here>, <your_openai_api_key_here>, and <your_vapi_api_key_here> with the actual API keys.
+
+## Running the Project
+To run the project, use Poetry to handle the environment:
+
+  ```bash
+  poetry run flask --app ./app/main run 
+  ```
+
+This command starts the Flask server on http://127.0.0.1:5000/. You can access the server from your web browser at this address.
