Current weather appid

[IArentBen]

So I almost have my mirror up and running, Im having issues with the weather and I cant seem to figure it out.
It populates on the screen loads then says my appid is incorrect.

Ive made an account and tried several API keys, Ive tried it in a browser and received the data in the browser

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London,uk&appid=*MYIDHERE*

{"coord":{"lon":-0.13,"lat":51.51},"weather":[{"id":500,"main":"Rain","description":"light rain","icon":"10d"}],"base":"cmc stations","main":{"temp":286.022,"pressure":1006.2,"humidity":100,"temp_min":286.022,"temp_max":286.022,"sea_level":1015.94,"grnd_level":1006.2},"wind":{"speed":3.71,"deg":208.506},"rain":{"3h":2.055},"clouds":{"all":56},"dt":1463577839,"sys":{"message":0.0051,"country":"GB","sunrise":1463544189,"sunset":1463601105},"id":2643743,"name":"London","cod":200}

This is the code I have in my config:

{
			module: 'currentweather',
       				 position: 'top_right',  // This can be any of the regions.
                                    // Best results in left or right regions.
     			  	 config: {
            			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
            			location: 'Amsterdam,Netherlands',
           			 appid: 'YOUR_ID_HERE'  }
			},

Any help would be appreciated greatly! thanks again!

Edit from admin: Removed your appid since it should probably not be public.

Just shear curiosity, can you remove the comments and see if that makes any difference? Basically trim it down to just:

		{
			module: 'currentweather',
			position: 'top_right',
			config: {
				location: 'Amsterdam,Netherlands',
				appid: 'YOUR_ID_HERE'
			}
		},

Not that I can think of any reason why it would fail, but I have had issues with stuff placed in odd places in the config file and causing it to fail.

@KirAsh4 unfortunately that didn’t work

[IArentBen]

I tried several more ids and it finally worked. Thanks for you’re help

[KirAsh4]

That indicates you had an issue with your ID, which may not have been valid then.

How do you find out what your appid is.

@dcimag u have to register with openweather to get one. it’s in the readme for the module, from the readme

The OpenWeatherMap API key, which can be obtained by creating an OpenWeatherMap account
