```auto
var=system.net.httpGet("https://api.darksky.net/forecast/APIKEY/9ce/43.059551,-109.594494")
print var

```

This returns something like the following:

{“latitude”:43.059551,“longitude”:-109.594494,“timezone”:“America/Denver”,“currently”:{“time”:1563910811,“summary”:“Partly Cloudy”,“icon”:“partly-cloudy-day”,“nearestStormDistance”:0,“precipIntensity”:0.003,“precipProbability”:0.01,“precipType”:“rain”,“temperature”:67.71,“apparentTemperature”:67.71,“dewPoint”:39.09,“humidity”:0.35,“pressure”:1015.7,“windSpeed”:4.8,“windGust”:9.94,“windBearing”:234,“cloudCover”:0.13,“uvIndex”:.and so on…

What is the best practice for using what is returned? How to search and iterate through this? Thanks!

Parse it with [system.util.jsonDecode](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.util.jsonDecode) and then access the info you’re interested in by keys.
