How do I deal with URL get requests?

Check out the company's documentation first. See if it requires an API key or it needs special parameters.

What is a parameter?

A parameter is some data you add to a Web URL get request. Some parameters are optional, but some are required. The first parameter is joined by '?' and the rest is joined by '&'. Of course, some API get requests do not need APIs, so...

For example, in weatherapi.com, if you want to get the current weather JSON data from Hong Kong, you have to get an API key first. If your API key is AICODE, then your URL is (referenced from the documentation):

https://api.weatherapi.com/v1/current.json?key=AICODE&q=Hong Kong/

After your URL is set, you need to analyze this JSON (think about it - is it a list of dictionaries, dictionary of dictionaries, or others?). You can use a Web component to both turn JSON to lists / dictionaries and getting a get request.

Why do you have the weatherapi 4 times? It is in weather, astronomy, sport and ip adress.

Here you can find a list of public available API's.

Because the same API can help you get data from 4 categories!

The ip-api.com link doesn't give the correct results for my location. It is at least 100 miles apart.

Ok then I'll remove it.

Edit: I placed it under Inaccurate instead.

I tried.

If I am using my phone's mobile connection, it locates me in Central and Western District, Hong Kong, but when I use Wi-Fi, it gives me a more accurate location of Tuen Mun, Hong Kong. I guess the IP address changes.

Will probably depend on how close you are to your local exchange, and data and internet will produce different results. My exchange is @ 4 miles away.
