MagicMirror weather not loading
-
@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 fieldprobably see a 401 error…
when did u get your API key?
-
@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.
-
@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.

@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.

@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!
