Hey all,
I’m wanting to get data from openweathermap api or similar web services and use a webhook / Appsheets api to record the weather based upon user input timestamps and lat/long.
Openweathermap makes this easy, and returns a variety of formats (json, etc) based upon a preformatted HTML string. For example:
Is it possible to retrieve/read this json string in appsheet natively? Do I need to lean on an external service (Zapier) to perform this integration? I would like to avoid that if possible.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thats good news. @Phil would you be able to give an indication on the timeline of such a feature?
@LeventK in the meantime, I understand I could use the zapier service to achieve my goals? Would the following flow be possible:
Cheers,
Jon
@Jonathon
I’m not aware how openweathermap API works. I will check their REST API doc and get back to you under this post.
We aspire to do it, but there is no schedule for it at this time.
Hi @Phil
Any update on the HTTP GET process?
Nothing is scheduled at this time.
@Jonathon Were you able to implement the 4 steps you listed above?
Hey Alex - yes, I have used Zapier to connect openweathermap to a few of my applications.
@Jonathon : Cool. Could you tell me the a high level description on how you configured it? Is that a Zapier Webhook?
I’m interested to request Trivia question from Open Trivia DB: Free to use, user-contributed trivia question database.
Just saw your post Hello , I would like to use the OpenWeatherMA... - #8 by David_Joyce that states it is a Webhook and $25/month.
I don’t have that budget so I’ll have to find an alternative. Thanks.
You could look into integromat - some users here use it for similar purposes, and I believe it is cheaper than Zapier. I am not personally familiar with integromat, however.
It would also be possible to build your own webhook catch with Google Script, although that would be a more hands-on approach.
