How to get weather on esp using API with key?

[cccp79]

Hello everyone, is it possible to use Generic HTTP Advanced to get weather data using the API with a key, receive a json response and analyze its desired values on a dummy device? I forgot to say - this is an https request form "https://api.weather.........." . I guess it's possible, but I don't understand how and where to specify the API key? Then, to parse the json, I understand you need to use the MQTT import plugin? But I can't get a response from the server (404). Help me figure this out. Thank you.

Please check out this pending pull request: #4856 where a code-change is suggested to also retrieve weather info from OpenWeatherMap (starting from this comment).

Currently, ESPEasy doesn't support this, mostly because the response from most webservers will be overloading the limited resources of specifically an ESP8266.

Ok, thanks for link. Can such a task be solved by self-creating a plugin based on arduino codes, just for my needs? I want to try, learn how to create simple plugins according to the instructions.
