So i have an API which updates weather data in db every hour(using repeat_every decorator). Is there a way to call this API automatically whenever back-end server is up and running instead of manually calling it?

Yes there is. You can define event handlers (functions) that need to be executed before the application starts up and shutting down.
You can use @app.on_event("startup" | "shutdown")
@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup():
do something...
@app.on_event("shutdown")
async def shutdown():
do something...
If you are encountring circular import Error, create your api as router than import from your main file.
Example
from fastapi import APIRouter
router = APIRouter()
@router.on_event("startup")
async def startup():
do something...
And from your main file
from path_to_your_api import router
app.include_router(router)
