Is there a simple example somewhere of how to get either the weather or the altitude for a specific location?

Every service has an example link in the documentation:

For instance gotopo30 as xml:
http://ws.geonames.org/gtopo30?lat=47.01&lng=10.2&style=full&type=XML

Cheers

Thanks for this. What I am trying to do is to get an altitude and weather for a lat long position but the examples at http://www.geonames.org/export/web-services.html#gtopo30 are more complex.

I cannot understand how to do a callback based on request = 'http://ws.geonames.org/srtm3?lat=51.4715&lng=-0.4539&callback=XXX';

and get a value into a div

For a callback you have to use the JSON service. An example of a JSON callback is here:

Thanks very much for your help - I have now got it working

Thanks for the simple example Marc, its much appreciated.
I have been tearing my hair out for the past few days trying to get things to work and then I realised I was actuially fighting the JSON code, and not working with it..

Thanks for the contribution, much appreciated
