27,718 PointsAPI request modified for Celsius degrees
Anyone tried to get the info in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit? I've read the API Docs and I know I'm supposed to append "units=si" somewhere in the request but I just can't seem to figure out where. I've tried at the end prefixed by a &, prefixed by a comma, with and without brackets... Nothing seems to work

31,168 PointsOptions The API request may optionally be modified through the use of query parameters.
you start them with a '?' then separate them with '&' like so: ?units=si&exclude=minutely

31,168 PointsYou can always use a formula to convert the Fahrenheit value to Celsius.
(°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C
Definitely not the same but always a viable option. I'll look into getting you a "real" answer though ;)
