I figured a JSON parser on a server was the way to go. I'm not a great coder, but I can get by if I really plug-in. I just didn't have the time (nor the immediate knowledge) to do such a thing. I thrashed about with a ton of different ideas, but the one that worked immediately was simply feeding a URL with airport codes into FrogFind. ActionRetro is the real weather provider! Where I got stuck was inputing zip codes. The API just didn't seem to take it until I tried airport codes. Maybe there's a parameter I missed, but zip codes just wouldn't work. Took a while, but I finally found an easy solution (for me). Thanks for reading, and I will certainly watch here for your NDA! Peace...
