Default Weather Module Stuck on loading.

flyedge

Hello, my default weather module quit working after updating to the latest MagicMirror version (2.34.0). it was a few versions behind, so I am imagining that something changed in the request that I am missing in the config but I cannot seem to track down what it might be. The API request is getting a 401 error, and using the api key itself in my browser I am able to retrieve the information, but something in the module request is causing an error I believe.

My current config (a bit of a mess as I have been trying to troubleshoot for awhile)

			module: 'weather',
			position: 'top_right',
			config: {
				weatherEndpoint: '/weather',
				apiVersion: '2.5',
				weatherProvider: 'openweathermap',
				locationID: '5946768',
				apiKey: 'xxxxxx',
				//lat: 53.5462,
				//long: -113.4937,
				roundTemp: true,
				degreeLabel: true,
				colored: true,
				fade: false

this returns an error "GET https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?id=5946768&units=metric&lang=en&APPID=xxxx 401 (unauthorized)

In the few days prior to updating, the forecast was also showing the days as a string (01/10/26) rather than the day of the week as it had been doing previous. This is what prompted me to update to the latest version of MM in the first place.

my default weather module quit working as well, however my weatherEndpoint is Openmeteo. Is that one also relying on api calls as well and that’s why it stopped working?

@fnmuffinman no. I haven’t seen any limits on that provider

Weather is done all in browser
Open the browser developers window
ctrl-shift-i
Select the console tab
Put weath in the filter field

@flyedge also, using the new v3 api settings
The location is specified using lat/lon (not long)
And the only weather types are current and forecast
And endpoint would not be needed, but if provided needs to be ‘/onecall’
