Hey, so I have a json code for Muslim prayer times that I get from an API url http://api.aladhan.com/v1/timings/$(time Africa/Cairo "DD MM YYYY")?latitude=30.053733&longitude=31.338610&method=5, how can I filter out it's data to only get those 5 times Fajr: 03:25 AM | Dhuhr: 11:51 AM | Asr: 03:28 PM | Maghrib: 06:39 PM | Isha: 08:06 PM is it possible to even transfer 24 hour into 12 hour without it being originally in the code?

Hey @Stripy Leopard!

It couldn't be easier! With JSON you move up the keys tree using dots.

$(eval a = $(urlfetch json http://api.aladhan.com/v1/timings/$(time Africa/Cairo "DD-MM-YYYY")?latitude=30.053733&longitude=31.338610&method=5); if (a.code === 200) {t = a.data.timings; `Fajr: ${t.Fajr} | Dhuhr: ${t.Dhuhr} | Asr: ${t.Asr} | Maghrib: ${t.Maghrib} | Isha: ${t.Isha}`} else {'There was an error'})

To convert the timing from a 24h format to 12h it requires a bit more code and gymnastics:

$(eval a = $(urlfetch json http://api.aladhan.com/v1/timings/$(time Africa/Cairo "DD-MM-YYYY")?latitude=30.053733&longitude=31.338610&method=5); if (a.code === 200) {t = a.data.timings; Object.keys(t).map(e => {d = t[e].split(':'); h = (d[0] % 12) || 12; t[e] = `${h}:${d[1]} ${h == d[0] ? 'AM' : 'PM'}`;}); `Fajr: ${t.Fajr} | Dhuhr: ${t.Dhuhr} | Asr: ${t.Asr} | Maghrib: ${t.Maghrib} | Isha: ${t.Isha}`} else {'There was an error'})

→ Get the prayer times for the next day.
