Use API's URL to receive json

I am accessing the api of world weather online. I have configured the url and it is displayed below-

http://api.worldweatheronline.com/premium/v1/marine.ashx?key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&q=-34.48,150.92&format=json

Note: my API key is displayed as XXXXXXXXXXXX and this is returning the following:

{
  "data": {
    "request": [],
    "weather": [
    {
      "date": "2016-11-20",
      "astronomy": [],
      "maxtempC": "27",
      "maxtempF": "80",
      "mintempC": "15",
      "mintempF": "58",
      "hourly": [
      {
        "time": "0",
        "tempC": "15",
  ...

I want to GET this json in JS and then log the value of TempC.

How can this be done?

The simplest way would be using request. You can install it with npm install request

const request = require('request')
const apiKey = 'XXXXXXXX'

let url = 'http://api.worldweatheronline.com/premium/v1/marine.ashx'
let qs = { 
  q: '-34.48,150.92',
  format: 'json',
  key: apiKey
}
request({ url, qs }, (err, response, body) => {
  if (err)
    return console.error(err)
  if (response.statusCode != 200)
    return console.error('status:', response.statusCode, body)
  body = JSON.parse(body)
  console.log(body.data.weather[0].hourly[0].tempC)
})
