    I am having trouble understanding what the syntax is to read deeper into the json data.
    This is the api for a weather station. I want to be able to get the name, station ID, air_temp, Precip, wind direction, and some other stuff.

    For now I limited the api to the air temp just to make it simpler for me to read. I feel confident that if I can get air temp to work, then I can figure out the others.

    I was able to get the Station name and ID to print with this:

    {subloop-array:STATION:-1}
    {subloop:station.name:-1}
    {STATION.NAME} {STATION.STID}
    {/subloop:STATION.name}
    {/subloop-array:STATION}

    I am having trouble getting air temp which is nested under OBSERVATIONS.

    What I want to get on the screen is the air_temp_value_1 value.
    I’ve tried tweaking this so many times, that I am just lost now.

    {subloop-array:STATION:-1} {STATION.OBSERVATIONS} Current Temperature: {subloop:STATION.air_temp_value_1:-1}{value}
    {/subloop:STATION.air_temp_value_1:-1}
    {/subloop-array:STATION:-1}

    Can you point me in the right direction?

{subloop-array:STATION:-1}
ELEVATION: {STATION.ELEVATION}, NAME: {STATION.NAME}, STID: {STATION.STID}
<br>Current Temperature: 
{subloop:STATION.OBSERVATIONS:-1}
{subloop:STATION.OBSERVATIONS.air_temp_value_1:-1}
{STATION.OBSERVATIONS.air_temp_value_1.value}
{/subloop:STATION.OBSERVATIONS.air_temp_value_1}
{/subloop:STATION.OBSERVATIONS}
{/subloop-array:STATION}
[/jsoncontentimporter]

    That works except for the <br> doesn’t seem to break for me.

    Is there a way to get the air temp to display as a whole number? Right now it’s 30.76, can I make it display as 31?

    Thanks for your help.

    Rounding is a feature of the PRO plugin. You might change the JSON?
