Weather API graph/plot (looking for suggestions)

[Xant]

Many established weather sites provide Weather data through APIs (current, forecast, etc). Can someone indicate a simple way to call the API, isolate data (lets say "outTemp") and plot (through Highchart or other). 

Thx,

Xant

Exactly 'which' API are you referring to ?

Expectations to have a solution for "generic weather API" that would allow retrieve data from generic sources (as OpenWeatherMap) and plot.

Just found a posting that might get to that direction:

https://dev.to/changoman/vuejs-and-chartjs-weather-api-example-1e7

Purpose, is to plot Temp forecast (avg, min/max), besides depend of any embed widget. The most possible days the better to verify trend.

I have no idea, but it's not weewx-related so you're probably asking in the wrong place.   Maybe try wxforum.net which has a more wide-reaching audience for lots of gear and interfaces.

The site you linked to seems to be more about graphical APIs (Vue, in particular), and not about a generic weather API.

If that's what you're looking for, take a look at WeeRT. It's a real-time interface to WeeWX.

It seems I missed this session of your extensive work, and I will indeed investigate further.

Found what I was looking for:

1) Acquire and extract data forecast from Weather API - DarkSky in this case

2) Plot graph using Highcharts - in same theme as Belchertown skin

Although small in size, having difficulties to upload Weather API Display modified files (1st draft) to address English, US-units and Belchertown skin dark-theme.

Will provide per direct request (zx...@yahoo.com).

Two simple routines that can be modified to acquire API data from weather service and plot Highcharts as forecast:

1) API OpenWeatherMap

2) API DarkSky
