9,017 PointsHow to get API data from NodeJS to ultimately display in the DOM?
So I completed the NodeJS Basics course and then went off to create a weather forecast webpage. I am able to get the data from the API but how then do you display it onto a webpage?

So assuming you're using jQuery (all psuedo code of course).
$.get(yourapiurl, function(data){ var myinfo = data.results; });
$('div').html = data.results;
Good luck!
