Using Datapoint data

[Matt Mac]

I have successfully used my api to get a site specific forecast for wembury:

http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxfcs/all/json/354122?res=3hourly&key=<APIkey>

My problem is that I have no idea how to go about using this data in my wordpress site! Thanks, Matt

I'm also struggling to join the bits up together. There are examples of <script> on the DataPoint site which parse and display data from a file but how do you get at the data returned by the http call?

I have just started to use the API & plan to use XML to grab the data I require!
It seems a bit long winded, but it does seem to work, but I've had to re-study XML to make a start!
It's a pity there aren't any working examples of how to do this, but I suppose that would be too easy?
