Hi, everyone I try to post the JSON data into influx but when I post it database by [http://localhost:8086/write?db=weathermap](http://localhost:8086/write?db=weathermap) it doesn't work. How can I fix this issue

Welcome to the forum @nisitpuk.
Is there a reason that you are not using the influxdb nodes? [node-red-contrib-influxdb (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-influxdb)
They work well and are well maintained.

Again, Thank you @Colin for your suggestion. I can do it after I learn on this link [node-red-contrib-influxdb "[node-red-contrib-influxdb (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-influxdb)" it is very useful for me. Now I can post the JSON data get from OpenWeather Map API and post to influxDB. The latest flow is shown below.
