JSON Data With Google Chrome

If you have Google Chrome, there is an extension you can download that will get the JSON Data for you automatically. I use the extension, "JSONView".

When you download the extension and enable it, simply type in the url (https://api.forecast.io/forecast/apiKey/46.885141,-112.459763) and it will have JSON data for you.

Hope this helps!

Thank you Daniel Sattler. Pretty JSON was not giving me the result shown in the video but http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com worked perfectly.
