Check this out! 1 simple get data from api later! I threw that little display together to have a quick look. cant wait to see what you guys will do with this. don’t be shy when you see the mountain of fields in the get data from external api. you are only required to the “input” field and that is just your question/math problem/request/need/want… you name it. @Emmanuel I think you will like this one
go grab your free API key from them - 2000 request’s per month! and click create app to get the API key. - http://www.wolframalpha.com/
For anyone that is wondering how this is going to help them create something or make something happen check out the image below, once you see this you may see just how many things you could do with it.
another cool idea was what if the input was the city a user types in as their address on sign up. you could then extract the population and create indexing for your products based on what sells in small town’s Vs big city’s!
I was able to use the IPiphy plugin and your plugin to automatically grab user location with a Wolfram search “[user IP] location” now my apps can send users a report of all account activity based on IP and location.
Hey Jarrad
Thanks for building this great plugin. One issue I am facing is that after extracting numbers from plaintext using truncate, the numbers are returned in text format and unable to perform mathematical operations on them. Is there some way to solve this?

One thing I’ve seen work at times is to put numbers into a numeric input and then reference them from the input. Of course, you can make the input 1px by 1px so it’s essentially invisible to the user.
Don’t know whether this works any more (and it’s a bit hacky) but worth trying to see if it’ll solve the problem.
