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 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.
Since you are using n8n, pull the data on a schedule and save it in a data table. Then create a webhook to serve the content as you want it. N8n can transform the JSON data, I can provide a sample tomorrow.
That would be swell, but I wouldn’t make it a priority. Just whenever you get a round to it. I have been given a ton of source material to read. Stayed up a little too late last night trying to assimilate it all. LOL
Sharing a workflow requires a paid plan but could should be able to paste this in the editor to get the same effect.
I made two different sample flows, on that call the api and responds with directly with the response data (transformed). The other workflow is to same the data in a data table, and call the weather api on a schedule. You could even use ntfy and send notifications on a schedule if it will rain within an hour.
Edit the nodes to suite your need (URL, content of response etc).
