MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

[Egnos]

Hello there!
Unfortunatly It’s arrived the moment: “… on March 31st, 2023 the Dark Sky API will no longer be available.”, as recalled by the Dark Sky Team in this post: Infos from the Dark Sky Team

In fact today morning MMM-DarkSkyForecast stopped working!

I tried to install its replacement MMM-OpenWeatherForecast, but it didn’t work!
On terminal i hve this error:

[MMM-OpenWeatherForecast] 2-Apr-23 17:23 ** ERROR ** Error: Request failed with status code 401

I have already try to regen the API key on OpenWeatherMap site but the problem persist.

I’m using MagicMirror: v2.22.0

For now i’m using the simple configuration:

{
    module: "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast",
    position: "top_left",
    header: "Forecast",
    config: {
      apikey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", //only string here
      latitude: 45.072870,            //number works here
      longitude: 7.558791          //so does a string
    }
  },

Has anyone had this problem before?
Can you help me?

Thanks.

Hi @sdetweil thanks for answering me!
I had read this post but I didn’t understand what I have to do.
I have to update the node_helper.js version 2.5 to 3.0?

Can you help me?

Thanks.

@Egnos yes,

just edit the file and change 2.5 to 3.0

In the file “node_helper.js” I have modify:

Where am I doing wrong?

@Egnos i’ve seen a number of these…

something to do with registering correctly with version 3 onecall

someone else said

I used the API keys from the website as the one sent in my email did not work.

@sdetweil I’ve already gone to the OpenWeatherMap site, I’ve regenerated a new API key but still the error…

[sdetweil]

@Egnos sorry, that part I don’t know.

@sdetweil thanks.

I’m trying to create a new user in the OpenWeatherMap site to have a new API.

In the meantime, if anyone knows how to help me it would be appreciated!:grinning_face_with_sweat:
