Open weather Api 3.0
-
Can somebody help this noob?
I use the default weather module with Open weather provider.
Somewhere on this forum I read that Api 2.5 will end in June, so I subscribed to Api 3.0.
Is this free?
They asked for creditcard numbers, I still hope this is free.
And can somebody help me with my config; Api 3.0, lat, long , no idea how to put it in my config.
An example of a working config with Api 3.0 would help me a lot.
Greetings,
Peter -
@Peter the same config.js has entries for weather (Openweather is the default provider)
just add the property
apiVersion: ‘3.0’,and replace the other property values with yours
the doc for weather is here
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.htmlyou do not need to specify anything that is the same as the doc indicates (like provider)
as the design is your config.js overrides the defaults for a module.
read the two links in my signature below. I didn’t write them, they are very helpful
-
@Peter free for limited number of calls per day
-
@sdetweil after adding the version to my config, the weather module does not start.
{
module: “weather”,
position: “top_right”,
config: {
weatherProvider: “openweathermap”,
apiVersion: ‘3.0’,
type: “current”,
location: “Apeldoorn”,
locationID: “2759705”, //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
apiKey: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxkey removed”
}
},
It works fine with Api 2.5, but do I need lat, lon instead of Location and Locatio ID?
It is confusing.
Peter -
@sdetweil what does this limited number mean?
If I use the default settings do I stay under the limit?
Peter -
@Peter there are multiple providers under weather, some need locationId, some need location name, some need lat/lon
the top section of the doc applies to all providers, and further down is specifics for each provider
if it works, then it works.
limited calls per day 1000 I think., so their doc says
divide seconds per day by 1000
stay under that rate.
we will next release fixes July 1, every 90 days

@sdetweil thanks for your help but I cannot get it working.
Maybe somebody else has an idea how to get it working?
Peter -
@Peter I took the sample
and added my 3.0 api key… no other changes, I commented out provider as openweather is the default
my 2.5 key did not work{ module: "weather", position: "top_right", header: "Weather Forecast", config: { //weatherProvider: "openweathermap", type: "forecast", 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: "mykey" } }, { module: "weather", position: "top_right", config: { // type:"current is default" 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: "mykey", } },
sorry, had some funky icons in test…
also had three instances, picked wrong 2… forecast first, current second -
@sdetweil ok, I did the same, so I removed apiVersion:‘3.0’, now it works.
But how can I see if it works on version 2.5 or version 3.0?
And how do I recognise a version 3.0 Api key?
On the site of Openweather I have several Api keys, but how to recognise a version 3.0?
Peter -
@Peter they don’t tell you. I have many as well.
they will tell you to try it… not much use
version 3 is only one endpoint, onecall
I don’t know how to force the module like that, it changes the endpoint based on the type (current, forecast…)
