I am using the following command to get weather forecast data from Dark Sky...
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "https://api.darksky.net/forecast/[myAPIkey]/25.1234,-95.1234,2018-12-25T12:00:00?exclude=currently,minutely,hourly,flags&units=us" -Headers $headers | Select-Object -ExpandProperty daily"
This is the weather information that is returned...
{"latitude":25.1234,"longitude":-95.1234,"timezone":"Etc/GMT+6","daily":{"data":[{"time":1545717600,"summary":"Mostly cloudy starting in the afternoon.","icon":"partly-cloudy-night","sunriseTime":1545743078,"sunsetTime":1545781154,"moonPhase":0.61,"precipIntensity":0.0009,"precipIntensityMax":0.0023,"precipIntensityMaxTime":1545728400,"precipProbability":0.16,"precipType":"rain","temperatureHigh":73.63,"temperatureHighTime":1545764400,"temperatureLow":72.73,"temperatureLowTime":1545800400,"apparentTemperatureHigh":74.26,"apparentTemperatureHighTime":1545764400,"apparentTemperatureLow":73.69,"apparentTemperatureLowTime":1545796800,"dewPoint":64.96,"humidity":0.77,"pressure":1017.44,"windSpeed":16.35,"windGust":25.84,"windGustTime":1545800400,"windBearing":129,"cloudCover":0.37,"uvIndex":6,"uvIndexTime":1545760800,"visibility":10,"ozone":225.63,"temperatureMin":71.09,"temperatureMinTime":1545717600,"temperatureMax":73.63,"temperatureMaxTime":1545764400,"apparentTemperatureMin":71.32,"apparentTemperatureMinTime":1545717600,"apparentTemperatureMax":74.26,"apparentTemperatureMaxTime":1545764400}]},"offset":-6}
Is there any way to filter results when making the call? Trying to reduce the amount of data stored locally. I am only looking for these few data points:
temperatureHigh
temperatureLow
precipType
precipProbability
humidity
windSpeed
You can just do this directly...
