Hello guys. Absolute beginner in coding. I would like to make my own module with Flight prices.
As default I will have:

token: "MyToken",
api_host: "travelpayouts-travelpayouts-flight-data-v1.p.rapidapi.com",
api_key: "MyApiKey"

And as options I will have:

origin: "AAA",//Airport 3-Letter code
currency: "EUR",
depart_date: "2022-06-12",//format YYYY-MM-DD
return_date: "2022-06-19",//format YYYY-MM-DD
destination: "BBB"//Airport 3-Letter code

Is there anyone who can create a right code (module) for this situation? If this is too stupid to ask, or if this already exists, please let me know :(

Hi! I know this thread is quite old, but since I’m a complete noob, and I’ve followed the specific guide I didn’t want to spam the forum with a new thread.

I’ve tried adding this basic module, but the effect is always that the MM wont start.

I’m on Windows 10 (using a Surface Pro 4).
I’m using Notepad++

With the default installation, MM works using a browser.

This is how my config looks after adding the Jeopardy module:

This is the error output from CMD:

What am I doing wrong?

@cgillinger this module suffers from this problem
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later/1

but the output looks different so

go to the module folder and do

npm init -y
npm install request

@sdetweil Tnx, that did the trick. I imagine thats been a problem with other modules that I started with. I’ll try the same on them.

Cheers!
