Does anyone have an example of a project that pulls API data from a site?

I saw these threads already:

API integration

sinbot Jan 14, 2020

Anyone familiar with API integration with their app? I want the user to be able to select an actor to then see what the weather is in NYC, or, just have the current weather for NYC posted visible on the app at all times (even better option). I found this option here https://rapidapi.com/weatherbit/api/weather?endpoint=5933364be4b08ab68dbc3786 but I have no idea how to integrate it into the app!

Anyone shed any light on the process?

Need Help in getting using Get Table from URL

aimer_s19 Feb 9, 2016

Hey Guys It's the first time I'm trying to use Get Table from URL.What I want to to is.
I want to get wordpress posts/links from the website.(Using JSON API export)
And I want to automatically update new posts/links.
I want to save those links/posts in a table.
And a character that can open the links using Open URL.
Can someone please guide me how can I do this?
Which URL address do I have to use in the Get Table from URL.And how can I read the post link from the table?Like by making different colums etc?
Thanks

But I was hoping someone had actually set up a file that does this...

I want to be able to pull PurpleAir.com air quality data into my app.

Do they have an api you can reach? Or are you expecting to screen scrap the data from Purpleair.com?

@adriangomez Purpleair.com has an API. I can also use Airnow.com's API which is better documented but less reliable in terms of actual values.

I'm really just looking for an example project that uses any API. Specifically via JSON data but it doesn't have to be that... it's just what I'm familiar with.

I just finished integrating some games with Firebase, via Glitch. So server running on Glitch, data going to and from a database with Firebase. Not exactly what you're after, but if you could get the data from purpleair.com to a Firebase database it would definitely be possible to get it into a game.

You can look at my two videos. Somewhere in the middle of second part of the video I connect to amplitude for analytics. The first video and the first part of the second are connecting to Gamesparks. All the connection request are simple rest:

@tatiang if you could help me out by sending me the exact API request you want to make (assuming you want to use the public data and not private data) and what data you want to pull from it (there's a lot of data in the purple API), that would save me some time.

I could then throw together a sample on glitch to show the basics.

Here's an example: https://www.purpleair.com/json?key=U2U1PIDHBAD5JU0E&show=38825

The data I want is "v1" within Stats. I don't exactly speak JSON but I think that's roughly: results-->(1st object)-->Stats-->v1. If not that then I'd settle for results-->(1st object)-->PM2_5Value. And a bonus would be the following data from results-->(1st object):

ID

Label

temp_f

Thanks!
