In this example we connect an Ethernet shield to an Arduino, we then connect a GY-21P sensor to this and we will display the readings on a webpage
The GY-21P is an interesting module in that it combines a BMP280 sensor and an SI7021 sensor. The on-board BMP280+SI7021 sensor measures atmospheric pressure from 30kPa to 110kPa as well as relative humidity and temperature.
BMP280
Pressure range: 300-1100 hPa (9000 meters above sea level at -500m)
Relative accuracy (at 950 – 1050 hPa at 25 ° C): ± 0.12 hPa, equiv. to ± 1 m
Absolute accuracy (at (950 – 1050 hPa, 0 – +40 ° C): ± 0.12 hPa, equiv. To ± 1 m
Mains voltage: 1.8V – 3.6V
Power consumption: 2.7µA at 1Hz readout rate
Temperature range: -40 to + 85 ° C

I use a variety of Adafruit libraries, took the default examples and made the following out of them
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Sensor
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_BMP280_Library
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Si7021
I got the sea level pressure value from this link
