        @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?

          @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.

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

              @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
