      Hello everyone,

      I’m looking for a module template to display the response for a specific API call.
      I’ve got a Petcare SureFlap and already set up a REST API for it.
      link text

      I’m only trying to display the current location of my cat on the mirror. The look should be similar to MMM-FHEM.

      The request url looks like that:

      http://192.168.178.xxx:3001/households/xxxxxx/pets/xxxxxx/location
      

      So I’ll need the following config variables:
      host
      port
      householdID
      petID
      updateInterval
      Name of the pet as title because it isn’t included in this specific call

      The response looks like this:

      {"location":"Inside","pet_id":xxxxxx}
      

      The final module should display the pet’s name as title and the current location (preferrably with German translation) underneath it.

      I hope that someone can point me in the right direction. I’ve already tried editing the existing MMM-FHEM because it looks just like what I want but I’m struggling with the extraction of values from the call.

        @ferby09 is the response JSON text? if so,
        var obj = JSON.parse(response_string)
        to get an object.

        then obj.key has the value
        obj.location in this case

          @sdetweil Yes, the response is JSON.
          But a friend helped me doing a quick and dirty frontend workaround with XHR and css.
          So this thread can be closed.
