Help needed simple API based module

[washichi]

thank you! It’s now working :)
I thought that my scheduleupdate was working but it didn’t (only 2 times )
with the Log function I could find the problem easy .

great. Now tidy up your code ;) and present your module in modules showcase

@washichi @yawns this is great work. I am wondering, would this completed code be kind of a base for making other API calls which return data in JSON format?

[washichi]

@ooom416354 Yes, but other modules are also that.
I used the default module “weatherforecast” it is an simple api based module that gets the data and displays it in a table.

I’m now trying to add a map, and then display the ISS current position on that, but implementing this in a module is a lot harder then normal javascript :p.

@ooom416354
Yes, kind of. At least with JSON calls without additional headers. The you need to use request and a node_helper

[ooom416354]

@washichi Yea, I am still not even sure how to translate the returned JSON to an actual visual table on the mirror. Not very good at this lol

@ooom416354 It could be yes ;)
