This recipe will show you how to connect to the internet using the ESP8266 and fetch live weather data using RESTful web services. The service that we will be using has up-to-date weather information for over 100,000 cities around the world. A very large amount of weather information for each location is provided, so this recipe will show how we can drill down to the items that are of most interest to us.
This recipe can be useful in your projects whenever you need to pass different parameters to a RESTful call or when the returned results are very large and you need to find ways to navigate through these large datasets.
