I’m trying to use a webhook to retrieve weather data from forecast.io . I have create the webhook and am able to publish it and get a response, but the response is always the full json text, rather than the filtered version I want using the responseTemplate I provided. Assuming my own code was to bl…

any chance you can share an example of the response you’re getting / the template you have written? Thanks! David

Sure thing. Here’s my webhook: { "event": "forecastio_webhook", "url": "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/<api key>/45.464698,-98.486483", "requestType": "GET", "headers": { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, "responseTemplate": "{{#currently}}{{temperature}}~{{humidity}}~{{pressure}}~{{precipP…

@Dave , wondering if you’ve had a chance to check this out. I’m working on this as part of what I hope will be a Christmas present. Haha. At this point I’m thinking of doing the parsing using some intermediary and then using the webhook to retrieve that but I’d really like to just use the webhook dir…

Thanks for the tutorial link. That would definitely work and I may have to go that route if I can’t get the webhook working the way it should. If really rather not have an extra piece of code hanging out at hook.io though since the webhook should really be able to do what I need. We’ll see. Hopefull…

Hi @bennettj1087 , Sorry about my slow reply! I didn’t realize the urgency, lemme double-check this now… re-reading. Thanks, David

Aha, okay, so, your template is: {{#currently}}{{temperature}}~{{humidity}}~{{pressure}}~{{precipProbability}}~{{windSpeed}}~{{/currently}} {{#alerts.0}}{{time}}~{{/alerts.0}} but the JSON is: { "latitude": 45.464698, "longitude": -98.486483, ... "currently": { "time": ..., } So instead I …

@Dave , thanks for the suggestion. My understanding of Mustache is that you use #currently to “open” the currently element at the root of the JSON and then you can reference all of the elements under it directly. Then you use /currently to “close” the currently section. I previously tested this temp…

Also, just to clarify… if elements in the responseTemplate don’t match the structure of the JSON, what would the expected behavior be? Would you anticipate that the entire JSON would be returned? Or wouldn’t it just fail to find the elements specified in the template and not return anything?
