Default Weather Module Stuck on loading.

flyedge

Hello, my default weather module quit working after updating to the latest MagicMirror version (2.34.0). it was a few versions behind, so I am imagining that something changed in the request that I am missing in the config but I cannot seem to track down what it might be. The API request is getting a 401 error, and using the api key itself in my browser I am able to retrieve the information, but something in the module request is causing an error I believe.

My current config (a bit of a mess as I have been trying to troubleshoot for awhile)

			module: 'weather',
			position: 'top_right',
			config: {
				weatherEndpoint: '/weather',
				apiVersion: '2.5',
				weatherProvider: 'openweathermap',
				locationID: '5946768',
				apiKey: 'xxxxxx',
				//lat: 53.5462,
				//long: -113.4937,
				roundTemp: true,
				degreeLabel: true,
				colored: true,
				fade: false

this returns an error "GET https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?id=5946768&units=metric&lang=en&APPID=xxxx 401 (unauthorized)

In the few days prior to updating, the forecast was also showing the days as a string (01/10/26) rather than the day of the week as it had been doing previous. This is what prompted me to update to the latest version of MM in the first place.

@flyedge see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19323/version-2.30.0-weather-module-stuck-loading-worked-fine-before-upgrade

my default weather module quit working as well, however my weatherEndpoint is Openmeteo. Is that one also relying on api calls as well and that’s why it stopped working?

sdetweil

@fnmuffinman no. I haven’t seen any limits on that provider

Weather is done all in browser
Open the browser developers window
ctrl-shift-i
Select the console tab
Put weath in the filter field

@flyedge also, using the new v3 api settings
The location is specified using lat/lon (not long)
And the only weather types are current and forecast
And endpoint would not be needed, but if provided needs to be ‘/onecall’

@sdetweil so after messing around and trying out a new module (might change my problem here) but seems it still won’t load. I am still pretty green at troubleshooting modules so excuse my lack of knowledge here. I have a screenshot of the spot you asked but for the new module:

sdetweil

@fnmuffinman which module are you using

git remote -v

In the module folder

Tom’s is v3 api only

The original is v2.5 only

From Toms version readme

@fnmuffinman these modules use a helper so debug info is where you npm start , IF the author presents logging

@sdetweil alrighty so I got a bit further after a bit more testing and digging into the pm2 logs so here is where I am at.

I am using this module: https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-OpenWeatherForecast

Here is a screenshot of the current error I am seeing in the dev tools

I was seeing a 401 Unauthorized error for a bit but figured out the 3.0 API call thing. I did test the URL from the website with my lat and long with the API key it works. I no longer see those errors in my pm2 logs on the mirror. Here is a screenshot of my current config in the config.js as well

Sorry didn’t want to dox or give my api key :) also as further troubleshooting, here is a screenshot of the api.openweathermap.org URL to show it does work

appreciate the help! my first time truly digging into why a module isn’t working. I have alot more respect for coders lol

@fnmuffinman did you do the npm install in the module folder?
