So, yes this is selfhosting related. I am working on an n8n flow to pull in weather data so that I can have this data on a dashboard. I can’t find any dockerized weather forecasting apps. Most of them connect to a personal weather station, which might be an option in the future. For the time being, this is a little project I’m working on.

I would like to display something like this:

Current temperature: 23.25 °C
Feels like: 24.09 °C
Low / High: 23.25 °C / 23.60 °C
Humidity: 94%
Atmospheric pressure: 1023 hPa (sea level: 1023 hPa, ground level: 988 hPa)
Temperature correction factor (temp_kf): -0.35
Weather: Light rain
Weather code: 500
Short condition: Rain

So, this is for you devs or coders out there. I can produce the JSON data. I’m just not sure how to parse it to something meaningful. I’m sure Python will have to be incorporated, but unsure of how to proceed.
Maybe someone could point me in a direction to tuts, articles, or your own experience. Sorry the JSON data doesn’t format correctly. Lemmy formatting doesn’t seem to allow that.
ETA: For anyone wandering across this, here is the solution: https://lemmy.world/post/47961985/24201369 thanks to @captcha_incorrect for his generosity and time.


Just a follow up to first say thank you, and that the script is working for me. I’m doing a bit of tweaking but it certainly jump started the process. You’re a scholar and a gentleman.
Glad to hear that you got it working! The hard part for me was to figure out how to transform a JSON string into an array of n8n objects. I had already done that before so now I just copy that node whenever I need something like again.
I figured you would have. But that is half the fun. :-)
