UPDATE!!!! I finally got the JSON directly from the site. See the folder for the Pi Pico W script to see how I'm using the data with a Pi Pico LED.
This is a perpetual script I keep working on as I get better with Python. This script scrapes http://lafayette911.org for data and attemps to clean it up and make it presentable as JSON or some easily readable text.
