I have a webpage displaying all my weather information and I would like to add nearby PurpleAir station data to my webpage. I've tried this script to get Json data, but I can't get the value from it. Need help...thanks.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>JavaScript - read JSON from URL</title>
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
    <div class="mypanel"></div>

    <script>
    $.getJSON('https://www.purpleair.com/json?show=26581', function(ppa) {
        var ppa1 = `PM2.5: ${ppa.results.PM2_5Value}<br>
                    Time: ${ppa.results.LastUpdateCheck}<br>
                    Data: ${ppa}`
                   
       
        $(".mypanel").html(ppa1);
    });
    </script>
   
</body>
</html>

The result I got is:

PM2.5: undefined
Time: undefined
Data: [object Object]

The url itself in browser got the json data:

What do need from the JSON data?

You have errors in your script, maybe this example can help:

Code: [Select]
<script>

$.getJSON('https://www.purpleair.com/json?show=26581', function(data) {

var lastUpdateCheck = data['results'][0]['LastUpdateCheck'])

$("#containerForLastUpdateCheck").html(lastUpdateCheck);

});

</script>

Edit above to your own needs.

. . . shortened . . .
 
Code: [Select]
   <div class="mypanel"></div>
    <script>
    $.getJSON('https://www.purpleair.com/json?show=26581', function(ppa) {
        var ppa1 = `PM2.5: ${ppa.results.PM2_5Value}<br>
                    Time: ${ppa.results.LastUpdateCheck}<br>
                    Data: ${ppa}`
        $(".mypanel").html(ppa1);
    });
    </script>
The result I got is:
PM2.5: undefined
Data: [object Object]
Time: undefined
. . . shortened . . .
The results is an array.
Add a pointer to the correct element
Code: [Select]
    <div class="mypanel"></div>
    <script>
    $.getJSON('https://www.purpleair.com/json?show=26581', function(ppa) {
        var ppa1 = `PM2.5: ${ppa.results[0].PM2_5Value}<br>
                    Time: ${ppa.results[0].LastUpdateCheck}<br>
                    Data: ${ppa}`
        $(".mypanel").html(ppa1);
    });
    </script>
and it will display correctly
Code: [Select]
PM2.5: 46.21
Time: 1578829758
Data: [object Object]

Thank you very much.  I got it now. [tup]

๋ี๋๋Just to share the script.

Code: [Select]
getPPA();

function getPPA()
{

$.getJSON('https://www.purpleair.com/json?show=26581', function(ppa) {

        var pm25now = ppa.results[0].PM2_5Value;

//$('#pm25now').attr("value",pm25now);

$('#pm25now').text(Math.round(pm25now));

        var lastseen = ppa.results[0].LastSeen;

       
        // Create a new JavaScript Date object based on the timestamp

        // multiplied by 1000 so that the argument is in milliseconds, not seconds.

        var datep = new Date(lastseen * 1000);

        // Hours part from the timestamp

        var hours_p = datep.getHours();

        // Minutes part from the timestamp

        var minutes_p = "0" + datep.getMinutes();

        // Seconds part from the timestamp

        var seconds_p = "0" + datep.getSeconds();



        // Will display time in 10:30:23 format

        var formattedTime = hours_p + ':' + minutes_p.substr(-2) + ':' + seconds_p.substr(-2);

        // Will display time in 10:30    format

        var lastseen = hours_p + ':' + minutes_p.substr(-2);

        $('#lastseen').attr("value",lastseen)

    });

setTimeout(getPPA, 60000); // set auto refresh every 60s (working, except ie)



}
