MMM-DynamicWeather Failed getting api: 401

[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

[JohnGalt]

@sdetweil – OK, so I did install the pull request, and it’s not working. After following the steps above, I still get errors:

Actions taken:
   - git fetch origin pull/52/head:with_30_apikey
   - realized I misread the instructions, so went back, and did the reset...
   -  git reset --hard HEAD 
    - git fetch origin pull/52/head:with_30_apikey
    - enable module in config.js
   - pm2 restart MM ]

Results as shown in pm2 logs, which was running at the time:

@JohnGalt said in MMM-DynamicWeather Failed getting api: 401:

- git fetch origin pull/52/head:with_30_apikey
- enable module in config.js

oops… I forgot a step

- git fetch origin pull/52/head:with_30_apikey
- get checkout with_30_apikey   <==== THIS STEP
- enable module in config.js

I just tested on my system and it worked ok

I REALLY dont’t like the module shipping node_modules folder, cause if this is one a different platform it will cause trouble
so I would do (and did event tho it worked)

cd ~/MagicMirror
sudo rm -rf node_modules
npm install 

my test config

  {
     module: "MMM-DynamicWeather",
     position: "fullscreen_above",
     config: { // See https://github.com/scottcl88/MMM-DynamicWeather for more information.
      api_key: "my 3.0 apikey",
      lat: "38.89511000",  // random
      lon: "-77.03637000" // random
     }
  },
