        I took out the endpoint line and that fixed the parsing error, but still no weather. I rechecked my api key and it is correct. Any other ideas? Thanks!!

          @KI6UVE open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, then select the console tab and put weath in the filter field

          is this an openweather v 3 apikey, that u had to provide a credit card to get?

          if so, add

          apiVersion:'3.0',
          

          to the weather config section

            No luck. I noticed you used ‘ ‘ instead of “ “ for the ‘3.0’. I used “ “ for all my other variables, such as type: “forecast”. Is that correct?

            The doc file doesn’t have any notation for how the lat/Lon is presented. Should that read…lat: ‘33.3025’ or nothing as it would imply in the doc file, I.e., lat: 33.3025

              @KI6UVE lat and lng are numbers, so no quotes. either type is ok as long as they match

                No luck with that. Should the apiVersion be in ‘ ‘ or raw? Is there a different weather app api that is easier to configure?

                  @KI6UVE I just did this

                  		{
                  			module: "weather",
                  			position: "top_right",
                  			config: {
                  				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
                  				type: "current",
                  			//	location: "New York",
                  			//	locationID: "5128581", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
                  				apiKey: ".....",
                  				lat:30.xxxxxx,
                  				lon:-97.xxxxxx
                  			}
                  		},
                  

                  and it worked (top right)

                  and the other used locationID… with my apiKey

                      Something must be wrong with my api key. I did not see the instructions for opening a developers window. Could you send again?
