          This is really funny, I downloaded the right module now, tested with my key, and now it is saying the key is invalid, this is the code I’m using

          {
                                 module: "weather",
                                 position: "top_right",
                                 header: "Weather Forecast",
                                 config: {
                                         weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
                                         type: "forecast",
                                         location: "Suwanee",
                                         locationID: "4225309",
                                         apiKey: "Mykey"
                                 }
                         },
          
          
                         {
                           module: "MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast",
                           header: "Weather",
                           position: "top_right",
                           classes: "default everyone",
                           disabled: false,
                           config: {
                             apiKey: "Mykey",
                             latitude: 51.506130,
                             longitude: -0.090270,
                             iconset: "4c",
                             concise: false,
                             forecastLayout: "table"
                           }
                         },
          

          This is the error I get

            @bassin12 this module uses all lowercase for the key name field

            apikey:

            this system is case sensitive

                  hm… I created a new key…

                  seems OpenWeatherForecast has a bug

                  in its node_helper.js
                  ’
                  change

                            "&units=" + payload.units +
                  

                  to (same as openWeatherMapForecast

                                      (payload.units !== "" ? "&units=" + payload.units : "") +
                  

                  can’t pass in junk

                          I think I was able to get to the bottom of this, you need to subscribe to the API giving your credit card information, also API 2.5 is deprecated for new users, I entered in contact with Open Weather and they have sent me this information.

                          Hope this helps people in the future.

                              I think I was able to get to the bottom of this, you need to subscribe to the API giving your credit card information, also API 2.5 is deprecated for new users, I entered in contact with Open Weather and they have sent me this information.

                              Hope this helps people in the future.

                              What service did you subscribe to, as that looks like the only way to enter your credit card info.

                                Hey @ally, I recently ran into the same problem like you.
                                I followed all instructions given to you from @sdetweil and finally figured out, what the problem was: openweathermap updated its api to version 3.0!
                                Even if you have a free subscription (limiting to 1000 api-calls a day, which is fine unless you stay above a refreshrate of every 3 minutes), you need to edit the link in node_helper.js from

                                var url = "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall" +
                                

                                to

                                var url = "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall" +
                                

                                For the free subscription on API-Version 3.0, you need to provide your credit card information, but you can set the maximum of possible API-calls to 1000, so that you will never ever ran into any costs.

                                    Just following up on this thread - I also am on the “free tier” 2.5 API version and when I try to use MMM-OpenWeatherForecast, it is stuck on “Loading”.

                                    Any advice?

                                      @sdetweil I couldn’t choose the old 2.5 API when I registered as new user to OpenWeatherMap. Therefore I had no other chance than to go with the 3.0 API.

                                      @chief depending on the API you are subscribed to, you need to edit the node_helper.js (as mentioned in my previous post). After editing you should restart your magicmirror.

                                        the default weather module still uses 2.5 and it works

                                        at the moment, yes.

                                        I looked into their api stuff and onecall v2.5 is not mentioned anymore. The normal endpoints weather and forecast are still on v2.5.

                                        Problem: For onecall 3.0 you need a special api key (as already mentioned here) with a subsciption where you have to give your payment data (1000 request free per day, limit is 2000 per day but you can set your limit to 1000 if you want it for free … ).

                                        I think we will get problems/questions to this for the default weather module too.

                                        So (for default weather module) if you use endpoints weather and forecast and old onecall v2.5 everthing works out of the box with old api keys, if someone use new onecall v3.0 he needs an api key for 3.0 and has to set apiVersion: "3.0", in the config …

                                          Hi!
                                          There was an error “** ERROR ** Error: socket hang up”
                                          This solution helped:
                                          in the module node_helper.js

                                          var url = "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall" +
                                          

                                          replace with

                                          var url = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall" +
                                          

                                          (https -> http)
                                          and restart the MM2

                                            Was there an agreed solution to this one? Do we need to subscribe separately to the 3.0 API or does the free subscription doable (works with default weather module)?
