Webparser returns an empty response

[TomYork1986]

Hello, community! Need your help.

I'm trying to create my own skin and get weather data using webparser plugin. For some reasons ot doesn't work. It returns an empty response. In log file:

Code: Select all

DBUG (10:07:17.596) tick weather v2\weather.ini - [Current]: Fetching: http://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=51.5287718&longitude=-0.2416807&current_weather=true
DBUG (10:07:17.726) tick weather v2\weather.ini - [Current]: Fetching: Success!
DBUG (10:07:17.730) tick weather v2\weather.ini - [Current]: Parsing data...
ERRO (10:07:17.733) tick weather v2\weather.ini - [Current]: RegExp matching error (-1)
DBUG (10:07:17.736) tick weather v2\weather.ini - [Current]: Parsing data...done!

But if I set Debug=2 it creates file with server response (WebParserDump):

Code: Select all

{"latitude":51.52,"longitude":-0.24000025,"generationtime_ms":0.21696090698242188,"utc_offset_seconds":0,"timezone":"GMT","timezone_abbreviation":"GMT","elevation":33.0,"current_weather":{"temperature":5.4,"windspeed":7.3,"winddirection":171.0,"weathercode":61,"time":"2023-01-10T07:00"}}

My skin code:

The temperature itself isn't enclosed in double-quotes so as a first try i would adapt the regular-expression in the [Current]-measure like that:

Code: Select all

RegExp=(?siU)temperature":(.*),"

I just tried it and it works the way i suggested

Oh my! Works like a charm! Thank you very much!

You're welcome! Have fun with rainmeter - and thanks for pointing me to a really interesting website with your post (open-meteo.com)

My skin code:

Apart from ikarus1969's solution, which is good and there is nothing to comment related to it, you should have to note that WebParser has ceased to be a plugin long time ago. It was indeed a plugin once, but in meantime it became an internal measure and should be treated accordingly, even if for backward compatibility reasons the plugin approach still works. So, you should replace all occurrences of the Measure=Plugin and Plugin=WebParser.dll options pairs by the simpler Measure=WebParser option.

Thank you for advice! Took this into account.
