How to get data in python from arduino using SIM800L wirelessly

Question

I'm working on a project where I use a SIM800L wireless module to transfer data from an Arduino to Python. I'm not sure how I can do that or what credentials I'll need. What would be the Python code and what would be the procedures. I scoured the internet but came up empty-handed. Please, could someone assist me in finishing this job.

I hope to transfer every parameter from the Arduino code to Python so that I can handle data in Python.

Two separate problems. Programming the Arduino with Python, and using WiFi on the Arduino. An Arduino can't run a normal Python interpreter, but specially crafted versions called MicroPython can run on some boards.

If you're looking to run Python on a host computer, then you'll need something to communicate to the Arduino: take a look at how Firmata and PyFirmata do just that. Good tutorial to get started here: https://realpython.com/arduino-python/#hello-world-with-arduino-and-python.

Finally, to use PyFirmata over Wifi, you'll of course need an Arduino with a Wifi module. See the StandardFirmataWifi example sketch to show you how Firmata can accept intstructions over a TCP connection.
