weather data, JSON, APIs...reccomendations

[Euler_1]

I'm taking  soem classes in coding and we design.  One of the things I want to get better at is retrieving data from the web and using it in web pages I create.
For example I'd like to create a calendar with graphics showing the frequency of rainy weekends here in Southern Vermont this year.

Can you point me to APIs and documentation to use the NOAA/NWS data?  Perhaps just starting with precipitation, max/min temps, and that sort of data for a given location.

Unidata has a series on their youtube channel where they show how to retrieve data, manipulate it, plot it, etc. It’s all in python though, but maybe it would help.
