In this guide, you’ll learn how to make HTTP GET requests using the ESP32 board with Arduino IDE. We’ll demonstrate how to decode JSON data from OpenWeatherMap.org and plot values in charts using ThingSpeak.

Recommended:ESP32 HTTP POST with Arduino IDE (ThingSpeak and IFTTT.com)

HTTP GET Request Method

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) works as a request-response protocol between a client and server. Here’s an example:

• The ESP32 (client) submits an HTTP request to a Server (for example: OpenWeatherMap.org or ThingSpeak);
• The server returns a response to the ESP32 (client);
• Finally, the response contains status information about the request and may also contain the requested content.

HTTP GET

GETis used to request data from a specified resource. It is often used to get values from APIs.

For example, you can use a simple request to return a value or JSON object:

GET /weather?countryCode=PT

Additionally, you can also make a GET request to update a value (like with ThingSpeak). For example, you can use:

GET /update?field1=value1

Note that the query string (name = field1 andvalue = value1) is sent in the URL of the HTTP GET request.

(With HTTP GET, data is visible to everyone in the URL request.)

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with this tutorial, make sure you complete the following prerequisites.

Arduino IDE

We’ll program theESP32using Arduino IDE, so make sure you have the ESP32 add-on installed.

• Installing the ESP32 Board in Arduino IDE (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux)

Arduino_JSON Library

You also need to install the Arduino_JSON library. You can install this library in the Arduino IDE Library Manager. Just go to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries and search for the library name as follows:

Other Web Services or APIs

In this guide, you’ll learn how to setup yourESP32 board to perform HTTP requests to OpenWeatherMap.org and ThingSpeak. If you prefer to learn with a local solution you can useHTTP with Node-RED. All examples presented in this guide also work with other APIs.

In summary, to make this guide compatible with any service, you need to search for the service API documentation. Then, you need the server name (URL or IP address), and parameters to send in the request (URL path or request body). Finally, modify our examples to integrate with any API you want to use.

1. ESP32 HTTP GET: JSON Data (OpenWeatherMap.org)

In this example you’ll learn how to make API requests to access data. As an example, we’ll use the OpenWeatherMap API. This API has a free plan and provides lots of useful information about the weather in almost any location in the world.

Using OpenWeatherMap API

An application programming interface (API) is a set of functions written by software developers to enable anyone to use their data or services. TheOpenWeatherMap project has an API that enables users to request weather data.

In this project, you’ll use that API to request the day’s weather forecast for your chosen location. Learning to use APIs is a great skill because it allows you access to a wide variety of constantly changing information, such as current stock prices, currency exchange rates, the latest news, traffic updates, tweets, and much more.

Note: API keys are unique to the user and shouldn’t be shared with anyone.

OpenWeatherMap’s free plan provides everything you need to complete this project. To use the API you need an API key, known as the APIID. To get the APIID:

1. Open a browser and go tohttps://openweathermap.org/appid/
2. Press theSign up button and create a free account.
3. Go to this link:https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys and get your API key.

4. On theAPI keys tab, you’ll see a default key (highlighted in a red rectangle in figure above); this is a unique key you’ll need to pull information from the site. Copy and paste this key somewhere; you’ll need it in a moment.
5. To pull information on weather in your chosen location, enter the following URL:

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=yourCityName,yourCountryCode&APPID=yourUniqueAPIkey

ReplaceyourCityName with the city you want data for,yourCountryCodewith the country code for that city, andyourUniqueAPIkey with the unique API key from step 4. For example, the updated API URL for the city of Porto, Portugal, would be:

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Porto,PT&APPID=801d2603e9f2e1c70e042e4f5f6e0---

6. Copy your URL into your browser, and the API will return a bunch of information corresponding to your local weather. We got the following information about the weather in Porto, Portugal, on the day we wrote this tutorial.

{"coord":{"lon":-8.611,"lat":41.1496},"weather":[{"id":803,"main":"Clouds","description":"broken clouds","icon":"04d"}],"base":"stations","main":{"temp":294.58,"feels_like":294.95,"temp_min":293.82,"temp_max":295.65,"pressure":1016,"humidity":83},"visibility":10000,"wind":{"speed":8.94,"deg":180,"gust":8.94},"clouds":{"all":75},"dt":1666877635,"sys":{"type":2,"id":2009460,"country":"PT","sunrise":1666853957,"sunset":1666892227},"timezone":3600,"id":2735943,"name":"Porto","cod":200}

This is how it looks with indentation for better readability.

{  "coord": {    "lon": -8.611,    "lat": 41.1496  },  "weather": [    {      "id": 803,      "main": "Clouds",      "description": "broken clouds",      "icon": "04d"    }  ],  "base": "stations",  "main": {    "temp": 294.58,    "feels_like": 294.95,    "temp_min": 293.82,    "temp_max": 295.65,    "pressure": 1016,    "humidity": 83  },  "visibility": 10000,  "wind": {    "speed": 8.94,    "deg": 180,    "gust": 8.94  },  "clouds": {    "all": 75  },  "dt": 1666877635,  "sys": {    "type": 2,    "id": 2009460,    "country": "PT",    "sunrise": 1666853957,    "sunset": 1666892227  },  "timezone": 3600,  "id": 2735943,  "name": "Porto",  "cod": 200}

Next, you’ll see how to use this information to get specific data like temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, etc.

Code ESP32 HTTP GET OpenWeatherMap.org

After installing the necessary board add-ons and libraries, copy the following code to your Arduino IDE, but don’t upload it yet. You need to make some changes to make it work for you.

Setting your network credentials

Modify the next lines with your network credentials: SSID and password. The code is well commented on where you should make the changes.

// Replace with your network credentialsconst char* ssid     = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_SSID";const char* password = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_PASSWORD";

Setting your OpenWeatherMap.org API Key

Insert your API key in the following like:

String openWeatherMapApiKey = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_API_KEY";

Setting your city and country

Enter the city you want to get data for, as well as the country code in the following variables:

// Replace with your country code and cityString city = "Porto";String countryCode = "PT";

After making these changes, you can upload the code to your board. Continue reading to learn how the code works.

HTTP GET Request (JSON Object)

In theloop(), call thehttpGETRequest() function to make the HTTP GET request:

String serverPath = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=" + city + "," + countryCode + "&APPID=" + openWeatherMapApiKey;jsonBuffer = httpGETRequest(serverPath.c_str());

ThehttpGETRequest() function makes a request to OpenWeatherMap and it retrieves a string with a JSON object that contains all the information about the weather for your city.

String httpGETRequest(const char* serverName) {  HTTPClient http;  // Your IP address with path or Domain name with URL path   http.begin(serverName);  // Send HTTP POST request  int httpResponseCode = http.GET();  String payload = "{}";   if (httpResponseCode>0) {    Serial.print("HTTP Response code: ");    Serial.println(httpResponseCode);    payload = http.getString();  }  else {    Serial.print("Error code: ");    Serial.println(httpResponseCode);  }  // Free resources  http.end();  return payload;}

Decoding JSON Object

To get access to the values, decode the JSON object and store all values in thejsonBuffer array.

JSONVar myObject = JSON.parse(jsonBuffer);// JSON.typeof(jsonVar) can be used to get the type of the varif (JSON.typeof(myObject) == "undefined") {  Serial.println("Parsing input failed!");  return;}Serial.print("JSON object = ");Serial.println(myObject);Serial.print("Temperature: ");Serial.println(myObject["main"]["temp"]);Serial.print("Pressure: ");Serial.println(myObject["main"]["pressure"]);Serial.print("Humidity: ");Serial.println(myObject["main"]["humidity"]);Serial.print("Wind Speed: ");Serial.println(myObject["wind"]["speed"]);

HTTP GET Demonstration

After uploading the code, open the Serial Monitor and you’ll see that it’s receiving the following JSON data:

{"coord":{"lon":-8.61,"lat":41.15},"weather":[{"id":801,"main":"Clouds","description":"few clouds","icon":"02d"}],"base":"stations","main":{"temp":294.44,"feels_like":292.82,"temp_min":292.15,"temp_max":297.04,"pressure":1008,"humidity":63},"visibility":10000,"wind":{"speed":4.1,"deg":240},"clouds":{"all":20},"dt":1589288330,"sys":{"type":1,"id":6900,"country":"PT","sunrise":1589260737,"sunset":1589312564},"timezone":3600,"id":2735943,"name":"Porto","cod":200}

Then, it prints the decoded JSON object in the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor to get the temperature (in Kelvin), pressure, humidity and wind speed values.

For demonstration purposes, we’re requesting new data every 10 seconds. However, for a long term project you should increase the timer or check the API call limits per hour/minute to avoid getting blocked/banned.

2. ESP32 HTTP GET: Update Value (ThingSpeak)

In this example, the ESP32 makes an HTTP GET request to update a reading in ThingSpeak.

Using ThingSpeak API

ThingSpeak has a free API that allows you to store and retrieve data using HTTP. In this tutorial, you’ll use the ThingSpeak API to publish and visualize data in charts from anywhere. As an example, we’ll publish random values, but in a real application you would use realsensor readings.

To use ThingSpeak with your ESP, you need an API key. Follow the next steps:

1. Go toThingSpeak.com and create a free account.
2. Then, open theChannels tab.
3. Create aNew Channel.

4. Open your newly created channel and select theAPI Keys tab to copy your Write API Key.

Code ESP32 HTTP GET ThingSpeak

Copy the next sketch to your Arduino IDE (type your SSID, password, and API Key):

Setting your network credentials

Modify the next lines with your network credentials: SSID and password. The code is well commented on where you should make the changes.

// Replace with your network credentialsconst char* ssid     = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_SSID";const char* password = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_PASSWORD";

Setting your serverName (API Key)

Modify theserverName variable to include your API key.

String serverName = "http://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_API_KEY";

Now, upload the code to your board and it should work straight away. Read the next section, if you want to learn how to make the HTTP GET request.

HTTP GET Request

In theloop() is where you make the HTTP GET request every 10 seconds with random values:

String serverPath = serverName + "&field1=" + String(random(40));// Your Domain name with URL path or IP address with pathhttp.begin(serverPath.c_str());// Send HTTP GET requestint httpResponseCode = http.GET();

The ESP32 makes a new request in the following URL to update the sensorfield1 with a new value (30).

http://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_API_KEY&field1=30

Then, the following lines of code save the HTTP response from the server.

if (httpResponseCode>0) {  Serial.print("HTTP Response code: ");  Serial.println(httpResponseCode);  String payload = http.getString();  Serial.println(payload);}else {  Serial.print("Error code: ");  Serial.println(httpResponseCode);}

In the Arduino IDE serial monitor, you should see an HTTP response code of 200 (this means that the request has succeeded).

Your ThingSpeak Dashboard (under thePrivate Viewtab) should be receiving new readings every 10 seconds.

For a final application, you might need to increase the timer or check the API call limits per hour/minute to avoid getting blocked/banned.

1. Hello, this is my first time posting here.
   I want to know, can i use ArduinoJson library which made by bblanchon instead? is there any advantage of using the official one? also is there any difference in the code? i know that i ask a lot of question, but it will clear up a lot of my confusion. Thank You.

   • Hi.
     You can use any other JSON library. But, you need to take into account that each JSON library works in a different way and come with different functions.
     You can use that library, but you’ll need to modify our code to use those library methods.
     If you don’t want to change our code, you need to install the same library we’re using.
     I hope this is clear.

2. Hi,
   I’m using OpenWeather in sketch above explained and it seems that there are some mistakes. For example
   I dont’ know which meter are used for a temperature like 295.4 ? Also the coord of my location and country is quite different I receive JSON object of 9.36 long and 45.85 latid and I’ sure thatr it’s wrong as the right coordinates are 9°2′ 33″ 48 E and 45°50’49″92 N.
   The question is how can I modify and set correct values ?
   I think that will be a very nice sketch when correct.
   Regards Gianni

   • Hi.
     The article refers the temperature units. The temperature comes in Kelvin Units.
     Double-check that you inserted the right location.
     That information is returned by the OpenWeatherMap API. Those are the coordinates it has saved for the specific location you’ve inserted.
     Regards,
     Sara

     Reply

     • You are indeed right about the temperature. If no units are entered, temperature is in Kelvin. You can add &units=metric to get Celsius or &units=imperial to get Fahrenheit

       The confusion about the latitued and longitude are that OpenWeatherMap uses degrees and decimal part of degrees, not degrees, minutes and seconds. Negative degrees are west of Greenwich

       Reply

   • You can get more details about the parameters using following link.

     https://openweathermap.org/current#multi

     If you need temperature in centigrade, use “&units=metric” at the end of the link.

     Ex:-
     https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Kandy,LK&APPID=c236bf560fb3b2dbe3324b411189330f&units=metric

3. Thank you for the well documented ESP32 HTTP GET with Arduino IDE guid
   Having it up and running following question arised:
   How access values in a c++ comptational format e.g.

   Serial.println(myObject[“main”][“temp”]); prints – 275.16

   to convert this to an °C value I’ve to add 273.16.
   My question is how access and convert this or any other “JSON element” into a c++ variable. The openweathermap response embodies int, float, char, time_t etc values.
   Maybe you can give some examples
   Thank you for the great tutorial

4. I’ve had a lot of fun using your courses and tutorials. The OpenWeather included. Where can I find the instructions for getting all the information from the JSON object (cloud cover, etc.)? Thanks

   Reply

   • Hi.
     The Json object myObject contains all the information.
     You just need to access the key:value pairs you want.
     For example, for clouds:
     myObject[“clouds”][“all”]);
     I hope this helps.

7. Thanks for this. It has been helpful with my project.

   I recommend adding if(httpResponseCode==200) to the in the httpGETRequest function to validate that the HTTP status code from the server is OK.

   As written, your function will handle negative codes, which the http client will return if it encounters a client side error (for example a timeout).

   However, if the http client successfully communicated with the server, it will use the HTTP status code from the server, which could indicate an error.

   200 is the standard HTTP status code that means that the request has succeeded. If successful, the result should always be 200. Anything else is not normal, so I’m not going to try to process the returned data.

   HTTP status codes are always between 100-599.

   Common error status codes: 400=Bad request, 401=Authorization required, 403=Forbidden, 404=Not found, 500=Internal server error

   See this link for a list of HTTP status codes: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status

    String serverPath = “http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=” + city + “,” + countryCode + “&units=metric&APPID=” + openWeatherMapApiKey;
    And if you want imperial units use this:

12. Hi, Super great tutorial, very easy to follow.
    How can I get the values inside the “weather” ?

    “weather” is formatted a little different than the others.
    most of them are like this:
    “main”:{“temp”:21.53}

    but weather is like this:
    “weather”:[{“id”:500,”main}]

    whenever I try this: Serial.println(myObject[“weather”][“id”]);
    the output is “null”

    what’s the trick?

13. Hi great tutorial! Using the Openweather onecall and your example, i am trying to get the daily, 0, temp, max. How would my myObject look to get this value? It is formatted differently.
    this is an example of the response:

14. Maybe a silly question, I am writing some software where the AsyncTCP.h and ESPAsyncWebServer.h are alreay included. Do I still need to include HTTPClient.h to get the Json data from the API?

    Kind regards,

15. Hi,
    I’m trying to figure out how to create a web page from the data from Openweather.
    The pages I have done in the past are from sensor data taken directly from an Uno and ethernet shield, but i’m stumped with this.
    Any help would be great.

    In ThingsSpeak, selecting timer value 20 seconds will avoid any missing data.

    unsigned long timerDelay = 20000;

    Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

    How we can call api with https?

19. I would like to see the degrees in Celcius as well as the clouds in the serial monitor between the temperature and the pressure, I cannot find how to do this. Please help me. Thanks in advance

    Reply

    • Hi
      For the temperature in Celsius you need to add the calculation on the code to manually do that.
      temperature (Celsius) = Temperature (kelvin) – 276.15

      To get the clouds:
      Serial.println(myObject[“weather”][“main”]);
      If that doesn’t work, try:
      Serial.println(myObject[“weather”][][“main”]);
      I hope this helps.
      Regards,
      Sara

        Serial.println(myObject[“weather”][][“main”]); // No !!!!!

        • First post 😉
          I integrated e-ink display with GxEPD2 to the weather forecast and would like to display more infos also first :
          Thanks, you answered the question I was about to ask !

          Then I ask the next one, I ask him this :

          Serial.println(myObject[“weather”][0][“description”]);


          and I get :
          ´´´
          “fog”
          ´´´
          how get : fog without the “” signs ?
          It’s only cosmetic and I will survive without 😉 with python it is simple but here I’m lost.
          If I find my answer I’ll post it here. I would try to avoid to make a loop to eliminate first and last character. Is there any equivalent to the python [1:][:-1] or line.split or so ?
          I’ll try to convert string to slice of chars for now or focus on other aspects of the project.

            You can use the substring() method:https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/variables/data-types/string/functions/substring/

          • hey El Geeko,

            I was just looking for this yesterday.
            not for the description, but for the icon.
            Serial.println(WebIcon.substring(1, 4));
            for the description you also need to get the length. there’s a command for that as well. Google will help you there:)

        • Thanks for this – I am still puzzled though as to what the [0] does in terms of decoding. Is it referring to the first variable in an array? I have played around to try to acces things like sunrise and feels_like but haven’t been able to figure how how to write it.

          Reply

      • // Convert JSONVar to String
        String tempStr = JSON.stringify(myObject[“main”][“temp”]);

        // Convert String to float
float temperature = tempStr.toFloat();

        //float tempC = myObject["main"]["temp"].as<float>();
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
//Serial.println(tempC-273.0);
Serial.println(temperature-276.15);

20. For those getting a httpGETRequest prolem and using VSCODE, you have to put that function before the loop(). It is a function order thing handled differrently by some IDEs.
