Wheather/ Wunderground not loading

@chris1971 I understand… but this is not possible… thus the number of new weather modules using other ‘free’ apis…
-
Thanks - then I have to try another module and update MM2…
Hope it works out…

The API was shut down. Heres the official statement (from: https://feedback.weather.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2970681-my-weather-underground-api-key-has-been-disabled-why-?b_id=17298)
***My Weather Underground API key has been disabled. Why?
The Weather Underground’s API has been retired. Keys have been closed down on a rolling basis since February 15, 2019. It will close down completely shortly. Information about this has been available through the API itself and online for nearly a year.
If you are a contracted, paying customer and feel you have been shut off in error, please click the blue ‘email us’ button below.
If you would like to explore paid plans on The Weather Company’s enterprise-grade API, please follow this link and fill out the form on that page.
At this time we do not anticipate offering free, ongoing “developer” level keys to The Weather Company’s API.
Thank you for your support of the Weather Underground API.***
Alternatives?

Thanks.
Does anyone have suggestions on the next best alternative? I feel like weather underground was relatively accurate, unlike some of the other options out there.

@kasperb: I will give this module a try:
https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-NOAA3
It has several options for placing API (weatherdata). So if one closes - i can switch to the next if needed…
I installed it today so i cannot say if the data (from weatherbit.io in my case) is reliable…

@Medo et al,
You can also use the darksky api with NOAA3. I find this to be very accurate for my location

I have found that DarkSkyForecast has been an excellent replacement for the Wunderground module. Format and display looks very similar. I have been using it for a few weeks and I am very happy with it. API keys for DarkSky are free for up to 1000 calls a day. So if you refresh the weather every 15 mins, thats only 96 calls a day.

@Medo - Yeah, my free API key was shut down last week.

I migrated my MMM-WunderGround24Hours module also to use the Dark Sky API and it is now available at https://github.com/thobach/MMM-DarkSky24Hours. The migration was super easy.
