Summary
Hi all, I am trying to get input from a web server to fill a variable in my game. What I am doing is setting the current weather in my game to the current local weather of the user. I am using openweathermap.org and the data is returned as JSON formatted data.

Hi all,
I am trying to get input from a web server to fill a variable in my game.
What I am doing is setting the current weather in my game to the current local weather of the user.
I am using openweathermap.org and the data is returned as JSON formatted data.
How can I get the game to us the API call to get the data and parse the JSON into java script variables for my use? I have been trying to figure this out but don't know where to start.
Here is an example of the API call.
I have removed the actual APPID because I am limited on how many I can use a day, so this link will not work.
api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?zip={44614},{us}&APPID=
Here is an example of the result: Protected download
Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to give.
