Revision as of 05:45, 14 December 2013

In this lab you will pull in some weather data from http://openweathermap.org/API.

Open LabWeather.nsx.
Add a click event to btnLoad on frmMain
Have the click event use the value from txtCity to query OpenWeatherMap's API: http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Riyadh,sa&callback=weatherData
- Keep in mind that you should URL encode any user entered parameters, like city, using encodeURIComponent
- Make sure you're using JSONP to make this request.
Upon receiving the response, you should parse the response into the various Value labels on frmMain. The format of the response is described here: http://bugs.openweathermap.org/projects/api/wiki/Weather_Data
