Update api.py

[vaibhav-2703]

Handling Invalid Location`

Changes:

• Implemented robust validation for the get_coordinates function to handle both valid and invalid locations gracefully.
• Enhanced error handling to ensure seamless fallback to a default location when invalid inputs are detected.

Details:
This update significantly improves the get_coordinates function in api.py by introducing comprehensive validation mechanisms. When a user provides a location, the function now checks its validity. If the location is invalid, it prints a message and gracefully falls back to a default location, thereby preventing application disruption.

Feedback Addressed:

• Successfully passed static code analysis (CI Linter) and formatted code according to PEP8 rules using make format.
• Integrated pre-commit hooks via make install to enforce consistent static analysis checks during commits.

Additional Context:

• This pull request addresses feedback received on a previous attempt (Update api.py #64), which was closed due to branch deletion. The changes have been carefully revised and resubmitted to ensure compliance with project standards and requirements.

Hey @vaibhav-2703 ,

Great job! Just tested this in my local and it works perfectly - I like the invalid location message too.

Thanks for the detailed PR summary and nice work figuring out the linter issues. Thanks @K-dash for your help as well.
