Met Office API Gateway migration for Weather module
-
Hello,
I can’t see that this topic has been raised before, so I thought I’d start.The Met Office (UK weather) has issued notice of a gateway migration project they’re doing. I think there will be changes needed to both the module code and account changes by magicmirror users.
The new gateway is now available (as of Jan 2024). Migration by 30th April 2024 is the deadline.
As I understand so far, the following (high-level) changes are required:
User- In Met Office Datahub subscriptions, user will need to migrate their ‘legacy’ application to the new gateway
- user will then get new API key
Module
“You will need to update your client code to use our new APIs”. Changes include:- base URL edit - this is set in the config, so may just be a documentation update
- request headers
- ensure you are using URL encoding
Docs for reference: https://datahub.metoffice.gov.uk/support/api-gateway-migration
I’m not a developer so I may be well off in my understanding. I’ve not read too far in to the documentation, either. Happy to close this topic if it’s already under discussion/development somewhere.
Cheers,
Matt -
