Open weather Api 3.0

[sdetweil]

@Peter free for limited number of calls per day

[Peter]

@sdetweil after adding the version to my config, the weather module does not start.

{
module: “weather”,
position: “top_right”,
config: {
weatherProvider: “openweathermap”,
apiVersion: ‘3.0’,
type: “current”,
location: “Apeldoorn”,
locationID: “2759705”, //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
apiKey: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxkey removed”
}
},
It works fine with Api 2.5, but do I need lat, lon instead of Location and Locatio ID?
It is confusing.

@sdetweil what does this limited number mean?
If I use the default settings do I stay under the limit?
Peter

[sdetweil]

@Peter there are multiple providers under weather, some need locationId, some need location name, some need lat/lon

the top section of the doc applies to all providers, and further down is specifics for each provider

if it works, then it works.

limited calls per day 1000 I think., so their doc says

divide seconds per day by 1000

stay under that rate.

we will next release fixes July 1, every 90 days

@sdetweil thanks for your help but I cannot get it working.
Maybe somebody else has an idea how to get it working?

@Peter I took the sample
and added my 3.0 api key… no other changes, I commented out provider as openweather is the default
my 2.5 key did not work

          {
      module: "weather",
      position: "top_right",
      header: "Weather Forecast",
      config: {
        //weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
        type: "forecast",
        location: "New York",
        locationID: "5128581", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
        apiKey: "mykey"
      }
    },
      {
        module: "weather",
        position: "top_right",
        config: {  // type:"current is default"
          location: "New York",
          locationID: "5128581", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
          apiKey: "mykey", 
        }
      },

sorry, had some funky icons in test…
also had three instances, picked wrong 2… forecast first, current second

[Peter]

@sdetweil ok, I did the same, so I removed apiVersion:‘3.0’, now it works.
But how can I see if it works on version 2.5 or version 3.0?
And how do I recognise a version 3.0 Api key?
On the site of Openweather I have several Api keys, but how to recognise a version 3.0?
Peter

[sdetweil]

@Peter they don’t tell you. I have many as well.

they will tell you to try it… not much use

version 3 is only one endpoint, onecall
I don’t know how to force the module like that, it changes the endpoint based on the type (current, forecast…)

[Peter]

@sdetweil ok, I will see what happens when 2.5 stops working.
Have a nice day.

Hi Just to clarify - I just need to change the api version number from 2.5 to 3.0 or Do I need to subscribe again for api version 3.0. ?
Thanks,
Neel.
