MagicMirror weather not loading

henryspr1

Hello,

I recently flattened and rebuilt my MagicMirror to run raspberry PiOS Bookworm 64-bit running on a Pi3, not quite sure what I ran before, but I hadn’t rebuilt the OS in over a year and everything seemed to work just fine.

I was able to load my previous config.js and also restored my compliments file. Everything seems ok except the weather is stuck on loading weather, and loading forecast.

Have they deprecated weather or do I need to change my providers?

Here is my config, with obsfuscated API key.

@henryspr1 I figured it out, the weather module changed the variable appid to apiKey, if you update those in the config.js it should work.

I noticed the 401 error in the console had the APPID in the GET request blank which I found weird, and when I manually entered the GET url into my browser and added my api key manually I was able to retrieve the weather fine. After going through the documentation I noticed the section talking about the api key was actually using the variable apiKey and not appid which I had in my config file. Changing that fixed the issue for me, hope it helps you.

@henryspr1 weather is all done in browser, so open the developers window ctrl-shift-i
and select the console tab and put a unique part of module name in the filter field

probably see a 401 error…

when did u get your API key?

henryspr1

@sdetweil Yep a ton of 401 not authorized. I assume I need a new API key? It is old like at least 3 years.

This was working just fine a month or so ago.

weather has a property for apikey version

I think 2.5 is the default, may be 3.0
also if using the onecall uri I think.

the new 3.0 API needs a credit card , like Google apis.

@sdetweil I tried with two new API keys and same issue. 401 not authorized. I have reached out to openweathermap.org if they could lend some insight. I am using free keys but if the versioning changed I can see that being the problem.

Thanks for your help, if it is something on their end I will let you know.

Did you ever figure out the issue? I’m having the same problem.

@ebig yes, when the current weather and weather forecast we’re replaced by the commo weather module a year ago the parts were har.onized across the uses.

henryspr1

@ebig Thanks! It works! Are you flippin’ kidding me, lol? Really that was it? Changed it then boom, weather! Thanks a ton!

Reminds me of spending a couple hours on a powershell script, stepped through multiple parts, and they all seemed right and I was like nearing my patience level, then my co-worker glanced at it for 30 secs and was like . . forgot an & . . . gahhhhhh!
