MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast stuck on Loading....

[sdetweil]

@bassin12

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

[sdetweil]

@bassin12 if the apikey is valid, I get 401 as well…

using my (new) apikey… all ok…

[sdetweil]

@bassin12 with that api key data is coming back, but its in the wrong format

i switch to my apikey and all is good

@sdetweil I deleted the MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast and reinstalled it as per the instructions. Results below, no change.

Am I doing anything wrong?

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.

@ally what instructions?

unless the author changed the code, nothing will change

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.

[sdetweil]

@elorand the default weather module still uses 2.5 and it works

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?
