To use our JSON API to display graphs on a website, you can follow these steps:
Obtain the data: You will need to first obtain the data from the JSON API. This may involve making a request to the API, which can be done using JavaScript's fetch() function or a library such as jQuery's ajax() method.
Specific data can be obtained using these URLS:
http://www.muskegonalmanac.com/graph/temperature/json.php (Temperature)
http://www.muskegonalmanac.com/graph/hum/json.php (Humidity)
http://www.muskegonalmanac.com/graph/pres/json.php (Barometric Pressure)
http://www.muskegonalmanac.com/graph/daylength/json.php (Day Length)
Date Range = HTTP GET $range ie. (http://www.muskegonalmanac.com/graph/temperature/json.php?range=2023-02)
Process the data: Once you have obtained the data from the API, you will need to process it into a format that can be used by the graphing library you have chosen. Many graphing libraries, such as Chart.js, require the data to be in a specific format, such as an array of objects with x and y values.
Choose a graphing library: There are many graphing libraries available, such as Chart.js, D3.js, and Plotly.js. Choose the one that best fits your needs and that you are most comfortable using.
Configure the graph: Once you have chosen a graphing library, you will need to configure the graph by setting options such as the type of chart, color scheme, and data labels.
Render the graph: Finally, you can render the graph on your website by adding the necessary HTML and JavaScript code to your page. This typically involves creating a canvas element on your page and using JavaScript to initialize the graphing library and pass in the data and configuration options.
Using a JSON API to display graphs on a website can be a powerful way to visualize data and provide insights to website visitors. By following these steps, you can effectively use JSON data to create dynamic and interactive graphs that enhance the user experience of your website.
