PRO JCI Plugin and the API of openweathermap.org

The API of openweathermap.org gives Feeds like https://samples.openweathermap.org/ and inside that JSON like https://samples.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London&appid=…

This can be used by the PRO JSON Content Importer Plugin for searching the weather:

For that you need a Shortcode and a JCI-Template.

1. The Shortcode:

JCI and casino.chompcasino.com

Challenge: Load https://casino.chompcasino.com/content/chomp-casino/json/2.1/manifest_multicurrency.json and display those game-items containing a defined title.

Solution: Create a new JCI-template with the following settings.
URL: https://casino.chompcasino.com/content/chomp-casino/json/2.1/manifest_multicurrency.json
urlparam4twig : t

Twig code in template:

{% set t = 'Mont' %}
{% if urlparam.t %}
{% set t = urlparam.t %}
{% endif %}
term: {{t}}<br>
{% for g in games if g.title matches '/'~t~'/i'  %}
title: {{g.title}}<br>
{% for i in g.images %}
{{i.url}}
{% endfor %}
<hr>
{% endfor %}

JCI and TablePress

The Plugin “TablePress” and the PRO version of the JSON Content Importer can work together in this way:

  1. Create a new TablePress-Table with e. g. two columns and two rows. Fill the cells with some dummy text. This gives you a shortcode [table id=NUMBER_OF_TABLEPRESS_TABLE].

  2. Create a new JCI-Plugin Template with e. g. some JSON data. The Twig-Code is

    name: {{_context.0.name}}
[table “NUMBER_OF_TABLEPRESS_TABLE” not found /]
  3. Create a new WordPress-Page/Post with
    [jsoncontentimporterpro id=NUMBER_OF_JCI_TEMPLATE]

    Preview this page: You should see some “name”-Data and a Table.

  4. Then change the content of a Table-Cell and insert {{_context.0.name}} there.

  5. Preview the page again: If you see the Twig-Code in the Tablecell go to the JCI-Plugin-Options, Tab Settings and select “first third-party-Shortcodes, 2nd: JSONContentImporter-Shortcode (use this for TablePress, Contact Form 7 etc.)”.

  6. Preview again and you should see the JSON-data in the Table.

If the number of columns or rows is dynamic: Up to my knowleded TablePress has a fixed number of cols and rows. So this is not that flexible.
Maybe Table Sort is an option then.

API waterservices.usgs.gov and “Auto Refresh API Ajax”

Challenge: Display the data from https://waterservices.usgs.gov/nwis/iv/?format=json&sites=01407600&parameterCd=72279&siteStatus=active

Simply displaying data is easy – create a Plugin template with the above URL and this Twigcode (Shortcode: [jsoncontentimporterpro id=NO_OF_TEMPLATE])

Location:  {{value.timeSeries.0.sourceInfo.siteName}}<br>
Date: {{value.timeSeries.0.values.0.value.0.dateTime | date("Y-m-d",   "America/New_York") }} <br>
Time: {{value.timeSeries.0.values.0.value.0.dateTime | date("H:i",  "America/New_York") }}<br>
Water Level: {{value.timeSeries.0.values.0.value.0.value}}

In Action:

Location: Shrewsbury River at Sea Bright NJ
Date: 2021-04-15
Time: 22:42
Water Level: 2.50

Display this data with the “Auto Refresh API Ajax” Plugin- Way 1:

  • Install the Plugin
  • Create a HTML-Div like <div id="araatest">load data</div>
  • Go to the “Auto Refresh AA” menu and insert this:
  • URL: See above
  • What: value.timeSeries.0.values.0.value.0.value
  • Where: div[id="araatest"]

Display this data with the “Auto Refresh API Ajax” Plugin- Way 2:

Create a new JSON-Feed by adding a new plugin-template:
URL: https://waterservices.usgs.gov/nwis/iv/?format=json&sites=01407600&parameterCd=72279&siteStatus=active

{"data": "Location:  {{value.timeSeries.0.sourceInfo.siteName}}, Date: {{value.timeSeries.0.values.0.value.0.dateTime | date("Y-m-d",   "America/New_York") }}, Time: {{value.timeSeries.0.values.0.value.0.dateTime | date("H:i",  "America/New_York") }},Water Level: {{value.timeSeries.0.values.0.value.0.value}}"}

Put [jsoncontentimporterpro id=NO_OF_TEMPLATE] on a new page. This page should be something like this:
http://api.json-content-importer.com/json-waterservices-usgs-gov/
Adding “?show=oc” removes the template and gives pure JSON:
http://api.json-content-importer.com/json-waterservices-usgs-gov/?show=oc http://api.json-content-importer.com/json-waterservices-usgs-gov/?show=oc
This JSON we use in “Auto Refresh API Ajax”
