Need help pulling basic text output from this api. https://widget.checkwx.com/
The link will show the api it needs to point to. Would like nightbot command to be !Metar {icao}
icao is the airports “code” to know what airports information to pull.
For example a person would type !Metar KLAX
Then in chat nightbot would return: KLAX 190353Z 24011KT 10SM CLR 13/09 A3000 RMK AO2 SLP158 T01330094
Type this into your chat:
!addcom !metar $(urlfetch https://nightbot-clip-command.herokuapp.com/metar?icao=$(querystring))
That does not pull from the source I stated. So, no thanks, that doesn’t help.
Nightbot does not allow to send headers with any $(urlfetch) requests, and the API requires that to return any valid results (https://api.checkwx.com/#authentication).
I assume @am_1 set his API endpoint up to forward requests to the one you linked, so for now that would be your only option.
ah okay. yeah I was thrown off by the header with the authentication. so he just routed through heroku. I was skeptical with the herokuapp, cause i’ve heard viruses getting passed through it. In that case, Thank you @am_1
