MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - loading issue

[zdenek]

Dears
I tried to find simple way to solve the problem, but Search returns tons of posts and I’ve no clue, whichone is the correct. I know, that there is change in API, so - what I’ve did:

1. so new API associated with card

2.  	    module: "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast",
    	    position: "top_right",
    	    //header: "Forecast",
    	    config: {
    	      apiBaseURL: "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?",   
    	      apikey: "api_key", //Home_MM Api		      
    	      latitude: 50.757690,            //number works here
    	      longitude: 15.033640,          //so does a string
    	      iconset: "5c",
    	      language: "cz",
    	      colored: true,
    	      concise: true,
    	      weatherEndpoint: '/onecall',
    	      apiVersion: '3.0',
    	      //requestDelay: "2000",
    	      showFeelsLikeTemp: true
    		    }
    	},
   

3) I've generated new key

but MM just "loading" ![f5f2757a-3384-468c-9fc8-e48f897fa4bc-image.png](/assets/uploads/files/1730533324100-f5f2757a-3384-468c-9fc8-e48f897fa4bc-image.png) 

questions:
do you see any error in Code?
How do I find, if the new key is 3.0 or old (in the list of keys)?

Thanks and sorry fo english

I had to change the node_helper.js to call the right api moet in node_helper.js (3.0 instead of 2.5)
sudo nano node_helper.js

    //make request to OpenWeather One Call API

// var url = “https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?” +
var url = “https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?” +

This solution works for me

[zdenek]

hmm, some pics doesn’t upload, so “loading”
and list of keys

[sdetweil]

@zdenek take off the apiBase, let us handle that

[zdenek]

@sdetweil done, but nothing changed - still “loading”

I am facing the exact same challenge.
Also followed the guidance as you did.

So, you are not alone…which makes me think if there might be an issue on openweathermap since everbody is hammering their API with their tests this weekend?

I am also having issues with the module being stuck on loading. In looking at the the debugging (ctrl+shift+i) when magic mirror is up I do get a 404 error for communicating to openweather. I have not changed any settings and do not have a line in my config file with the api base url. Other than that, I’m in the same boat as OP where I signed up to get the free API 3.0 and generated a new key… just can’t get anything working.

[sdetweil]

@Como 3.0 apikey requires a credit card. today first 1000 api calls are not charged

[sdetweil]

@Como 404 is not found, so the api url is incorrect

[sdetweil]

@Como openweather changed their business model, only the 3.0 api is available. any 2.5 api requests will fail

[Como]

I realize that the api 3.0 is required. I mentioned I signed up for it as seen below.
I also generated a new key which is showing as active. So unless I’m generating keys that are no longer allowed per openweather (which I wouldn’t think is possible), then I’m not sure what the problem is.

[sdetweil]

@Como yes, as i said, i will debug this when i get nack to my desk on monday

as for my reiteration of the v3.0 api, you said ‘free api’ , and there is no such thing anymore. just trying yo be precise

[Como]

Got it. Just wanted to make sure I was understanding too as I feel the oneweathermap site could be a little more clear on their keys. Thanks for all your hard work on this!

Side note: If you are having problems with MMM-OpenWeatherForecast, make sure you are using Tom Hirschberger’s active fork. You can check this by running git remote -v in the module’s directory.

[sdetweil]

@KristjanESPERANTO @Como
rather than spend any time on this

rename your existing module out of the way and install
https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-OpenWeatherForecast

no config changes I don’t think… (maybe lat/lon for location/locationID)
Tom is very active in supporting his work…

[sdetweil]

@Como did you get this resolved?

[Como]

@sdetweil life has been busy. Hopefully I can do it this weekend. I’ll report afterward.

[sdetweil]

@jms3700 never use sudo for MagicMirror things

[jms3700]

@sdetweil

Hello Sam,

Indeed, I was wrong to use sudo. Thanks for the reminder!

Hi all
maybe I’ve missed something, but did someone find the solution? If so, can describe setp-by-step how to do it?

thanks
