              could it be *js file setup.

              been poking around on the Met Office website

              is this “request” something that could be used

              GET https://api-metoffice.apiconnect.ibmcloud.com/v0/forecasts/point/hourly?latitude=52.################&longitude=-1.################
              Headers:
              Accept: application/json
              X-IBM-Client-Id: e52######################
              X-IBM-Client-Secret: *********
              

              a “Header”

              cache-control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate
              content-length: 3634
              content-type: application/json
              expires: 0
              pragma: no-cache
              x-global-transaction-id: 9####################
              x-ratelimit-limit: name=rate-limit-1,360;
              x-ratelimit-remaining: name=rate-limit-1,358;
              

              theres also a “Body” that starts

              {
                  "type": "FeatureCollection",
                  "features": [

                in addition… looking at “ukmetofficedatahub.js”
                API Base URL looks like this…
                apiBase: “https://api-metoffice.apiconnect.ibmcloud.com/v0/forecasts/point/<hourly/3hourly/daily>”,

                where as the next section down API URL is stated to be
                “https://metoffice.apiconnect.ibmcloud.com/metoffice/production/api”

                seems to be a mismatch although im still looking at where to test that theory…
                i would have hoped which ever way the URL is structured its the JS info thats the important bit, not the structure of the URL

                  I’m stumped!

                  As outlined here

                  ukmetofficedatahub.js is set to

                          // Set the default config properties that is specific to this provider
                          defaults: {
                                  apiBase: "https://api-metoffice.apiconnect.ibmcloud.com/v0/forecasts/point/daily/",
                                  apiKey: "<myID>",
                                  apiSecret: " <my secret>",
                                  lat: <my lat>,
                                  lon: <mylong>,
                                  windUnits: "mph"
                  

                  (lines 50-55)

                  ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

                  config.js set to

                    		weatherProvider: "ukmetofficedatahub",
                    		apiBase: "https://api-metoffice.apiconnect.ibmcloud.com/v0/forecasts/point/daily/",
                    		apiKey: "<myID>",
                    		apiSecret: " <my secret>",
                    		lat: <my lat>,
                    		lon: <my long>,
                   		windUnits: "mph",
                   		tempUnits: "metric",
                  

                  (lines 20-27)

                  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
                  bff556ff-fe1a-46f0-8532-2d07dfce1a35-image.png
                  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

                  logs are clear… many server restarts…

                  i can curl required info and get something vaguely intelligent from the Met office Servers

                  curl --request GET \
                    --url 'https://api-metoffice.apiconnect.ibmcloud.com/v0/forecasts/point/hourly?excludeParameterMetadata=false&includeLocationName=true&latitude=<my lat>&longitude=<my long>' \
                    --header 'X-IBM-Client-Id:  <myID>' \
                    --header 'X-IBM-Client-Secret: <my secret>' \
                    --header 'accept: application/json'

                    Is this portion of the module broke for me, do i need to use a different service?

                      @D3dl3g I don’t KNOW for sure… the provider has its own apiBase set…

                      * 		apiBase: "https://api-metoffice.apiconnect.ibmcloud.com/metoffice/production/v0/forecasts/point/",
                      

                      so comment that out in your config
                      add // to the start of the line with apiBase:

                      also, as this doesn’t have a node helper, we should be looking in the browser logs

                      ctrl-shift-i, select the console tab and put

                      weath
                      

                      in the filter field

                        For some reason i glossed over your reply, apologies.

                        Trying with a different provider will be my plan of attack today. After running some diag, as sam has suggested.

                        I find the met office to be insanely accurate for my area when compared to other online weather services. Hence my desire to use it.

                        One of the reasons my posts are peppered with pictures and code is to help ensure i am setting it up correctly. I didnt realise about the .js in the weather folder for 2 days i thought it was all set up from config.js…

                        As it stands im convinced i have it set right, now, but its totally possible i have a comma in the wrong place. As im a total n00b with JS. i know sometimes it is difficult to see the forest through the trees and a fresh set of eyes can help.

                        Thank-you for your reply, looks like im experiencing option 4 😄
