[Request] Plugin for KNMI like the metar plugin

---

I wrote a python script which is used by some users (I think) for Dutch KNMI data. Now with the new metar plugin which uses the rester node.js script, I would like to do the same for KNMI, but I fail short (by far ).

The forecast is updated every 10 minutes and in json format: ftp://ftp.knmi.nl/pub_weerberichten/tabel_10Min_data.json

I think that KNMI plugin will even be simpler, but even that is too complicated for me.
So in Line 193 of @mwittig coffe script there is parser: rest.restler.parsers.xml. I assume that could be copied for json.
The plugin would require the station name and supply the data.
I’ve done it in bash shell script, I did it in 2 different ways in Python, but I simply don’t understand the coffee script way.

OK, I’ll have a look into this. Note, however, as the data is provided though FTP rather than HTTP, I think restler cannot be used as is. There are numerous client modules for FTP and thus, it should be possible to perhaps extend restler or do something alike. If the weather data can also be obtained through HTTP please let me know.

I did not even think of the ftp part. python and shell script don’t care about that.
I have only 2 links and both are ftp. The one above and ftp://ftp.knmi.nl/pub_weerberichten/tabel_10min_data.html

Don’t worry. It works fine for me but I had hoped it was an easy goal. There are not many who use it anyway I’m afraid.

Don’t worry Harry, I’m using the script and it is much better (more accurate) than the open weather plugins!
