Indigo Domotics

I have two weather stations. One reports to WeatherUnderground. The other reports to both WeatherFlow and WeatherUnderground. I have api access to both. When I enter the URL into a browser I get the info below. How do get this info into Indigo variables? Is there a plugin that can do this? Or sample python code?

I think GhostXML will do that for you. Into device states, anyway, which is just as useful.

Yes, GhostXML should be able to handle that JSON payload no problem.

The trickiest bit--and it shouldn't be too tricky--is to set up any needed authentication.

Use the WeatherFlow Plugin.

Thanks Joe and Dave and Korey. I implemented both GhostXML and the WeatherFlow plugin for now. Both work well. Very different approaches and devices created. Authentication was not required since my API token is built into the URL.
