How to solve the Nominatim problem

Question

I have a mini project about "Weather App", i use Nominatim to get location but it seems like not working.

Here is the code

from tkinter import *
import tkinter as tk
from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
from tkinter import ttk,messagebox
from timezonefinder import TimezoneFinder
from datetime import *
import requests
import pytz
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
root = Tk()
root.title("Weather App")
root.geometry("900x500+300+200")
root.configure(bg = "#57adff")
root.resizable(False, False)
#get weather
def getWeather():
    city = textfield.get()
    geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent = "geoapiExercises")
    location= geolocator.geocode(city, timeout = None)
    obj = TimezoneFinder()
result = obj.timezone_at(lng = location.longitude, lat = location.latitude)

timezone.config(text=result)
long_lat.config(text = f&quot;{round(location.latitude,4)}°N, {round(location.longitude,4)}°E&quot;)

home = pytz.timezone(result)
local_time = datetime.now(home)
current_time = local_time.strftime(&quot;%I:%M %p&quot;)
clock.config(text = current_time)

and the problem

        Exception in Tkinter callback

Please paste the error message and the code here rather adding a screenshot. — Padmanabha, Oct 10 '23 at 15:27
Looks like you have not correctly authenticated so the server returned a 403 response — Ian Turton, Oct 10 '23 at 22:26
you probably need to create a user_agent; see https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/293615/user-agent-argument-in-nominatim-in-geopy — Mike T, Oct 10 '23 at 23:22

You use: geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent = "geoapiExercises")

Replace with this: geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent = "abcd")
