Using HTTP with Node Red and the OpenWeatherMap.org API

HTTP in Node-RED can be intimidating for the first timer but its seriously easy once you get started. The possibilities that can be whipped up in Node-RED are staggering. In this walk through we get current weather data from the OpenWeatherMap API, use the data in a Node-RED dashboard, then create our own web service to put our skills to the test!

Clear, concise and very informative. Excellent, thanks!

I'm the first time of requesting API on node-red and this video is really helpful for me. Thanks a lot.

your great mate! I learned more in your 15 min video, then 4 hours my teacher was teaching us!

Thanks a lot,nice video

[@pablocostan]

So at the end of this video, you has shown that we can make a request from "outside" to the node-red and get a response, right?

Thank you!!!!!!!

Openweathermap has a node now that can be installed from Manage pallete. It makes it a little easier than using HTTP request.

Excellent tutorial. I have tried to expand my node red dashboard to display char fields (eg msg.payload.weather.0.description) from the parsed JSON file. However it is blank on the dashboard although I see the data on the debug screen. I am using the same text display node. Can you advise me what I am doing wrong ? thanks

@@nomecognome1221 grazie mille mi faresti un gran favore! Il progetto riguarda prendere i dati relativi a temperatura ed umidità della città di Milano da OpenWeatherMap, e tramite node red inviare tutto a thingspeak.
