maybe this link helps you:
https://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/app-prod-static-fra.meteoswiss-app.ch/v1/warnings_with_outlook_with_naturalhazards_de.json

[Squirrel]

@LukeCodewalker Thx for the answer. I will try it out. At the moment i can`t find my City. But maybe only because there is no warning at the moment? Otherwise on the alarm.meteocentrale.ch is still a warning for snow on the streets…?

What about wetteralarm.ch/? This is a app for iPhone and Android! Maybe it can work with this site?

@Squirrel
I can’t download this app in germany, so I can’t have a look at the data it uses.

[Squirrel]

Ok. Shit happens. Maybe you can tell me with which program/method u read the code of a app? The I can do it alone…

@Squirrel
I use mitmproxy for viewing the http-requests of the apps.

[Squirrel]

Thx! After some little problems to install all the things to use mitmproxy it works now and i found some good json files. The only problem i have is that there is one json for region where i can`t choose a city. There are different json files for every city! Maybe i gonna make a module with regions for everybody but use the city json for my self!

Hmm since i changed some things in node_helper.js my MagicMirror is no more working and i get the following ERROR:

npm ERR! Linux 4.4.34-v7+

This is what i did in config.js:

module: 'MMM-DWD-WarnWeather',
position: 'bottom_right',
header: 'Wetterwarnungen',
config: {
    region: 'Seeland/Bielersee',					// Kreis Lörrach
    changeColor: true,
    interval: 10 * 60 * 1000, // every 10 minutes
    loadingText: 'Warnungen werden geladen...',
    noWarningText: 'Keine Warnungen'
}

},

And here what i did in node_helper.js :

getWarningData: function (region) {
	var self = this;

	var timestamp = Date.now().toString();
	var url = 'http://my.wetter.ch/v6/alarms/meteo/with-regions.json' + timestamp;			// http://www.dwd.de/DWD/warnungen/warnapp_landkreise/json/warnings.json?jsonp=loadWarnings



	request({
		url: url,
		method: 'GET'
	}, function (error, response, body) {

		var result = JSON.parse(body.substr(24).slice(0, -2));
		var warningData = [];
		for (var regionId in result['warnings']) {
			if (result['warnings'][regionId][0]['name_de'] == region) {			// name_de = regionName 
				var warnings = [];
				for (var warning in result['warnings'][regionId]) {
					warnings.push(result['warnings'][regionId][warning]);
				}
				if (warnings.length > 0) {
					warningData = warnings;
				}
			}
		}
		self.sendSocketNotification('WARNINGS_DATA', {warnings: warningData, region: region});

	});

I changed the link and i changed regionName to name_de… Any idea? Hope this is gonna be my last Question ;)

@Squirrel
So first of all i would suggest you to open a new topic in the development area of this forum.
Second, it looks like you have not much experience http-requests and data-structures =D but that’s no problem =) it’s a good point to start for you now =)
To help you i need the request which you have monitored with mitmproxy.
To do that, open the request in mitmproxy and press E to export it. Then choose curl command as output-format and choose a file where you save this command.
With this command i can explain you how to go on. So please post the content of this file in the new topic which you will create now =)

@gismo2006 I know this thread is solved and a few months old. There is also another one liner solution with use of jq JSON parser from command line. Here is an example that would get result that you need (or at least get you close to it)

curl -s "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?id=2934486&lang=de&units=metric&mode=json&appid=YOUR_OWM_API_KEY" | jq -r '"Today is " + .weather[].description + " and " + (.main["temp"]|tostring) + " degrees."' > filename.txt

would result in Today is überwiegend bewölkt and -6.12 degrees. put into filename.txt
