JSON web service

 

Data is provided to this application in a web 2.0 fashion by a JSON service. You can directly call this JSON service to get the same information. The URI template is like:

https://weather.im/iembot-json/room/roomname?seqnum=#

The seqnum is simple a message counter. You would want to start with 0 to get the most recent history. Then use the largest value you get back each call to only fetch the most recent content. The JSON payload is an array of messages with index values of:

• seqnum: The sequence number of the message
• ts: The timestamp of the message in GMT
• author: The author of the message
• log: The message usually in HTML format

 

If you plan on developing a large application against this service, please let us know.
