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

      @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

            @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 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…)

                @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.

                    @nkc as I understand it yes. 3.0 requires a payment if you exceed the free limit so you must provide a credit card up front.

                      I found this thread when my usage of the openweathermap.org API stopped working a few days ago. I guess they actually did cut off the API 2.5 users now? Anyways, I have it working using the 3.0 API now. A few comments to help anyone:

                      • I did add my credit card info on my account but I am not 100% sure this was necessary.
                      • I am using the same API key as before.
                      • The locationID value does not appear to work any more. So I have replaced the locationID config lines with lat and lon lines.
                      • The timezone was getting appended to the header so I had to start setting appendLocationNameToHeader to false.

                      Before example:

                      {
                          module: "weather",
                          position: "top_right",
                          header: "Hollywood, FL",
                          config: {
                              weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
                              type: "current",
                              location: "Hollywood, FL",
                              locationID: "4158928",
                              apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
                              roundTemp: true
                          }
                      },
                      

                      After example:

                      {
                          module: "weather",
                          position: "top_left",
                          header: "Mandan, ND",
                          config: {
                              weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
                              type: "current",
                              lat: "46.8258",
                              lon: "-100.88875",
                              apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
                              apiVersion: "3.0",
                              appendLocationNameToHeader: false,
                              weatherEndpoint: "/onecall",
                              roundTemp: true
                          }
                      },
