Using OpenWeather One Call API

[Harry]

Trying to us AutoTools Json Read to get weather data from OpenWeather using their API. My   AutoTools Json Read settings are :

 Simple Mode

Json: api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?lat=40.345268&lon=-74.985148&appid=xxx&units=imperial&exclude=current,minutely,hourly,alerts (xxx would be replaced with my API key)

Json Root Variable: Json

All other entries are not set.

When I run the task I get an error:

12.39.30/ActionArgBundle key: SortArrayKey: replace <null> String value with null
12.39.30/ActionArgBundle key: JsonRootVariable: replace <null> String value with null

Any help appreciated.

Could you try using the HTTP Request action in Tasker instead and then use native JSON reading? :)

Thank you for your contact.

I can get values using the native JSON reading. Why wouldn't it work with Auto Tools Json Read?

[João Dias]

It should work with both... 😅 I was just suggesting that you should prefer the native method... Can you please post a sample JSON from the API so I can check it out?

[Harry]

Also, when I use your example of 

• %json.some.very.deep.path it doesn't return what I expect.

If I Flash %JsonData.temp(2) returns:

{"day":41.74,"min":27.05,"max":50.22,"night":41.07,"eve":44.44,"morn":27.05}

As expected.

If I Flash %JsonData.temp(2).min it returns:

{"day":41.74,"min":27.05,"max":50.22,"night":41.07,"eve":44.44,"morn":27.05}.min

Shouldn't it return:

27.05

Thank You

Oh I see. For now Tasker doesn't support reading from an array and then from a sub part of that array right away in the same action. If you do it in 2 separate actions it'll work :) Sorry for the trouble.

[Harry]

Thanks, that did it.
