Hi
While the overlap between paragliding and home assistant is probably small I thought I’d share a little viz I did, connecting the paraglidable API to a home assistant sensor. I am very new to HA and have done little with JSON so ideas on how to improve would be great - but it works 
The end result is a little widget that sits on top of my weather cards:
or a bigger version here
This corresponds to the paraglideable ‘can I fly’ metric provided by the API for a defined location (in the API - in my case near my house) i.e. 100% is a perfect day and 50% is marginal. The idea is that this sits on my HA wall panel and acts as a prompt to go and look at more info (and take the day off!)
I feel like I ought to be able to combine the sensors into a single chart - but this is beyond me if anyone has a steer on this part!
Step 1:
Create the API on the paraglideable website for the location you want - paraglideable provides in XML or JSON format. jsonpathfinder is very helpful for unpicking the template
Step 2:
Create rest sensors in home assistant.
Mine is setup so my config.yaml contains
sensor: !include sensor.yaml
And the sensors are then set up in sensor.yaml as shown below. There is one sensor each for today and the following 3 days
Today:
- platform: rest
name: Paraglidable API Sensor Today
resource: https://paraglidable.com/apps/api/get.php?key=YOURAPIKEY&format=JSON&version=1
value_template: "{{ (value_json[(as_timestamp(now())) | timestamp_custom('%Y-%m-%d', true)][0].forecast.fly * 100) | round(0) }}"
json_attributes:
- date
- forecast
- name
scan_interval: 300
And three with an offset to pick up the following days (repeated x 3 with the name and the offset (86400 in this example) changed :
- platform: rest
name: Paraglidable API Sensor +1
resource: https://paraglidable.com/apps/api/get.php?key=YOURAPIKEY&format=JSON&version=1
value_template: "{{ (value_json[(as_timestamp(now()) + 86400) | timestamp_custom('%Y-%m-%d', true)][0].forecast.fly * 100) | round(0) }}"
json_attributes:
- date
- forecast
- name
scan_interval: 300
Step 3:
Create the lovelace card - I’ve used mushroom cards for this (which is excellent) and mushroom chips for the small version
type: custom:mushroom-template-card
secondary: '{{ states("sensor.paraglidable_api_sensor_today") }} %'

Next steps (if anyone has any bright ideas!) - would love to combine into a single sensor so i can show as a chart, or similar, rather than 4 sensors and 4 cards.
Hope someone finds this helpful!
