Sample usage of the windklok api v2. Three options given here, although the raw html example should be avoided since it exposes url and credentials.
see file weather_data.html weather_data.html for sample usage.
To implement the API call and information display in a WordPress site, you can use a combination of custom code and plugins.
- Create a new folder in the wp-content/plugins directory, e.g., weather-data.
- Create a PHP file in this folder, e.g., weather-data.php. See file weather_data.php for contents.
- Go to the WordPress admin dashboard.
- Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins.
- Find your Weather Data plugin and click Activate.
- Edit the page or post where you want to display the weather data.
- Add the shortcode [weather_data] to the content area.
You can add custom CSS to style the output as desired. Here’s an example of how to do this:
Create a Custom CSS File:
- Add a custom CSS file to your theme or use the theme’s custom CSS option.
- Add the following CSS to style the data container:
.data-container {
margin-top: 20px;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
}
.data-item {
margin-bottom: 10px;
font-size: 16px;
}
Create a server-side script in a language like Node.js, Python, PHP, etc., that handles the API request.
This script will include the access key and make the request to the Google Apps Script endpoint.
- Call the Server-Side Script from the Front-End:
- Your front-end JavaScript will call the server-side script instead of the Google Apps Script directly.
Here’s an example using Node.js with Express:
- Install Express:
NPM install express - Create server.js: see file server.js
- Run the Node.js Server:
node server.js - Make the call in the html like in weather_data_via_proxy.html
