MMM-DynamicWeather Failed getting api: 401

[JohnGalt]

@sdetweil – Thanks, Sam.

If I want to try this, can I just do it in the module folder now, or do I go back in there first and undo the edits I performed manually? I’m not clear on whether it does or doesn’t make a difference.

[sdetweil]

@JohnGalt in the module folder

if you made file changes, you should revert those first

git reset --hard HEAD 

[JohnGalt]

@sdetweil – I intended to try the above, but the MagicMirror indicated it was due for an update, so I ran your update script first… Now it won’t run.

Rather than hijacking this thread, I will put the particulars in a new thread.

i just didn’t want if to look like I left this one hanging out there…

[sdetweil]

@JohnGalt have you resolved this?

[JohnGalt]

@sdetweil – No, it’s still erroring but oddly, possibly not on every API call.

I just now fired up a terminal session and ran pm2 logs. The output appears to show this module getting weather API data without error, then the last log lines show errors.

The really strange part is there appear to be timestamps for sucessful and error API calls right around the same time [but not contiguous in the log display]. pm2 logs output follows:

@JohnGalt the 2 logs are stdout and stderr. pm2 shows them separately not merged like at console

401 means your apikey is bad.

did you install the pull request
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/120866

[JohnGalt]

@sdetweil – Thanks Sam. I’m certain the API key is good, as I can format queries as web addresses and paste them into the browser and get openweathermap to return the data.

I didn’t install the pull request.

[sdetweil]

@JohnGalt you NEED to install the pull request to get the updated module code using the 3.0 api…

[JohnGalt]

@sdetweil Yes, I realize that… I guess I skipped some thoughts that were rolling around in my head but never made it to the keyboard: I had disabled the module, figuring I would just wait for it to be updated.

I should have some time this evening to go in and install the pull request - I will let you know what happens.

[sdetweil]

@JohnGalt yes, but its unlikely to be updated by the author, but you have the pull request as a substitute/the update
