Get the weather from an API and post data.temp.

What it does

Call a web address and read its JSON answer. HTTPS only, at most 10 web calls per run. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 6 values later steps can use. Find it under Utility & web in the palette.

When to use it

Use it for odds and ends: call a web address and read its JSON answer. HTTPS only, at most 10 web calls per run.

When not to

If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
