opCharts Remote Data Widget

Requires opCharts-4.0.9 and Above.

opCharts can display tabular data from most JSON endpoints which required no authentication or support token / bearer header tokens.

In this example we are showing weather data from the Gold Coast using the openweathermap.org API

How to use the widget

The first step to create a new component is to add the json descriptor file in the path (A content example can be seen in the example above):

omk/conf/components.d/new_component.json

Once the file is created it can be used as a component in a Dashboard.
