@Rakutsi the 2.5 api is dead, for a couple months now

[Rakutsi]

@sdetweil just wanted to say that it worked for me to do that.

I am new with posting here.

I am also struggling with the new api call. I have set the apiBaseURL string and tried a new api key, but still not loading. The openweather site is a bit confusing, how do i make an V3 api key? i only see option for new key. Thanks

[sdetweil]

@megagprime you have to
provide a credit card in case you go over the 1000 requests per day limit

[megagprime]

@sdetweil i did that and have it subscribed, my old key doesnt work and neither does my new key

[megagprime]

This post is deleted!

[sdetweil]

@megagprime comment out the apibase, let the module set it

[MarcLandis]

@sdetweil MMM-OpenWeatherForecast has V2.5 as default.

[megagprime]

@MarcLandis yes we need 3.0

@sdetweil https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-OpenWeatherForecast/blob/master/MMM-OpenWeatherForecast.js#L53

[sdetweil]

@MarcLandis shocking, Tom is usually not behind like that

i haven’t checked, is the url unchanged except for the version number?

[megagprime]

@sdetweil tom has new url in readme apiBaseURL for opencall3

[MarcLandis]

@sdetweil yes - all that is needed is …/2.5/… -> …/3.0/…

[sdetweil]

@MarcLandis ok. i have seen some other users post that it had taken some time before the new key worked.

without debugging hard to tell. i expect the fetch would fail 401. authentication failed

It seems the default API was changed from 2.5 to 3.0 with the recent update. Even it is (not yet) in the documentation.

Here is what I did:
I inserted in the config.js

apiVersion: "2.5",

Since the problem occurred after the recent MM2 Update (and worked fine until then) it was clear, that the update has some doing in that.

Even if the 2.5 API should be down, it is working just fine.

After this change, it works (again) like charm.

[sdetweil]

@OldGuyBerlin the doc for 2.29 today

[OldGuyBerlin]

Didn’t see this until now.

That is why the workaround with the API Version works. ;-)

So let me add one more thing here if I can
if I give these guys my credit card just in case I go over
where in MMM-OpenWeatherForecast will it tell me how many calls it made

[MarcLandis]

@Ray the number of calls depend on the update intervall you set in your config. For example if you have it update every 10 minutes it will be 144 calls a day.

@MarcLandis 000 I did not know that thanks for the update that makes a big difference
