Can Zipabox retrive some data from an HTTP request?

Need Answer

I have the following HTTP request:

https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20item.condition%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20%3D%202487889&format=json&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys

when I put this url in the browser, the response has the following form:

{
"query": {
"count": 1,
"created": "2016-06-15T11:04:31Z",
"lang": "en-US",
"results": {
"channel": {
"item": {
"condition": {
"code": "29",
"date": "Wed, 15 Jun 2016 03:00 AM PDT",
"temp": "63",
"text": "Partly Cloudy"
}
}
}
}
}
}

the response contains some data about the weather there. Can I use the HTTP Request block to retrive some data from this response and put it in virtual meter?

for example, I need to get the value of the tempreture ("temp")

I don t think that it will work. As the response is json you would need to parse it. And without the posibity to code in Zipabox I don't know how this should work.

You could run the request via a cron job on a server. Parse the response and send the values to the Zipabox.
