How 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?

Hey Michael, you would most likely use javascript in the browser to append it to the document. You're generating that server side API but you'll need to retrieve it as normal.

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!
