        },

        This works for me. Check your appid.

        {
        	module: "weatherforecast",
        	position: "top_right",
        	header: "Saint-Germain-les-Corbeil,France",
        	config: {
        		location: "",
        		locationID: "2979752", //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
        		appid: "ea0222cc89779d1aXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
        		maxNumberOfDays: "4"
        	  }
        
        },

          My appid is good because it works with the current weather.
          There are no other solutions?
          Thx Mykle1

            Copy and paste my config entry above into your config and DOUBLE CHECK your appid. That entry is working.

            EDIT! Working under MM 2.1.1

              I have the same problem, even after deep investigations.

              I can get current weather calling this :
              http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=paris&units=metric&APPID=cbbxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

              I can get forecast weather with 3h timepoints using
              http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q=paris&units=metric&APPID=cbbxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

              BUT i cannot use daily forecast which is used by MM
              http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?q=paris&units=metric&APPID=cbbxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
              it returns : {“cod”:401, “message”: “Invalid API key. Please see http://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info.”}

              it appears that daily forecast is not free (anymore ?) regarding openweather website.
              https://openweathermap.org/price

              Maybe it is a problem related to location ? I see that I actualy live just a few kilometers away from Aurelsam (Saint-Germain-les-Corbeil, France)

                You can temporarly get around the problem by using 3h steps forecast (2nd link of my previous post) instead of daily, and by adding this to the weatherforecast.js :

                in function processWeather,
                after line var forecast = data.list[i];

                add:

                if (forecast.dt_txt.split(" ")[1] != “00:00:00”) continue;

                (in config)
                maxNumberOfDays parameter now counts timepoints (each 3h) and not days:
                maxNumberOfDays: 4 // means 4 forecast points: 0h, 3h, 6h, 9h
                maxNumberOfDays: 8 // means 8 timepoints of 3h = 24h = 1 day
                maxNumberOfDays: 40 // means 40 timepoints of 3h = 120h = 5 days

                You should also remove parameter check in the same script weatherforecast.js, which allow maximum 16 (for 16 days). it should be set to maximum 128 (timepoints) for 16 days.

                example:
                params += “&cnt=” + (((this.config.maxNumberOfDays < 1) || (this.config.maxNumberOfDays > 128)) ? 40 : this.config.maxNumberOfDays);

                  Reply to myself! LOL

                  An oversight on my part. I was testing that in MM 2.1.1 and it WAS working. I just moved to MM 2.1.2 and it does NOT

                      So it means that it does not work with the latest version ??
                      How do you install 2.1.1?

                        It would appear so. You could try the workaround that @SP4M provided above. I have not tried it.
