Help: Rainmeter Skins • Re: Canadian Weather

Thanks for the reply. Environment Canada's weather is definitely different (not necessarily better) than weather.com, but it is what I see on the phone, what I hear on the radio (I believe), and of course what I see on the web site. So yeah, it would be nice to have it on the desktop too.

But it is probably way beyond me. How would I even get started in learning how to deal with that API?
This is about the radar images on that site / api, so I'm not sure of how much help it is, but you can take a look at it, if it still works:
https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=42888
As for the rest, go here, for example:
https://api.weather.gc.ca/openapi?f=html#/climate-daily/getClimate-dailyFeatures
then press the Try It Out button, set whatever parameters you want, then scroll down to press the Execute button. Finally, see how the Request URL looks like, and how the Response body looks like. You'll use an URL like the request URL in your WebParser's URL option, and will parse via regular expressions the response body. The rest is just pure regex fun to extract what you need from the latter. :sly:
