Using an API to get sunset times from co-ordinates
This flow takes in co-ordinates and name of a location and returns the sunset time and name of the location in a sentence. It uses the https://sunrisesunset.io/api/ to get the sunset time.
This demonstrates how to store data outside of msg.payload for use later in a flow. It also demonstrates simple API usage.
