Hi. I work with a bunch of kids, we have a project to make Led display of latest weather using weather api. 1). Tried a few api and they all return lots of data, is there a way to http GET request to just getting the temperature instead of the complete list of JSON response? Trying to avoid having the kids trying to decipher all the text. Is there a way to GET request a item of the list if “temp” is the only data we want?

Thanks
