Webservices Hackathon

The previous exercises will have given you an introduction into the skills required to interact with web services using FME. Now its time to see if you can take those skills and apply them to a typical real life scenario.

The website YR.no provides global weather information forecasts, and as part of their offering they provide API access to their data.

Challenge:

Using your new found skills can you build an FME Server App that will ask the user for their location within Ireland, and use this location within a Workspace to query the YR.no API and then take the response and turn it in a HTML forecast report that can be streamed back to the user.

The YR.no API documentation can be found here API Overview

and there is more information on creating an FME Server App available here is you have not built one previously.
