@Bugsounet ok thanks, let me know if I can do anything to help.

swvalenti

Anything I can do in the mean time to troubleshoot to help get this resolved. It is happening now, I looked in the dev window but didn’t see any errors. I don’t know where else to look. Attached should show the news on the bottom bar but nothing there. Thanks, Scott

@Bugsounet Just circling back on this…would it be easier if I created an issue on github or leave it here?

sdetweil

@swvalenti whos news? did u look in the console window where u started MM?

or pm2 logs if using pm2?

news and calendar use the node_helper to fetch info…

swvalenti

Thanks Sam, checked the pm2 logs and unbeknownst to me…they now went to a paid tier api it seems!

@swvalenti said in MMM-News:

50 requests available every 12 hours

change the refresh rate to 15 minutes that would be 48 per 12 hours

swvalenti

@sdetweil I don’t see that as an option in the config…

sdetweil

@swvalenti edit line 48 of node_helper.js

change

    this.scanInterval = 1000*60*10

to this

    this.scanInterval = 1000*60*15

A Former User

@sdetweil yes, it’s new they have limited request. So I will add new part of code for define interval, quickly

A Former User

Hi, I have upgraded to v2.1.2 with personal fetch interval.
By default i put 30 min in default config

swvalenti

@Bugsounet thank you very much

swvalenti

@Bugsounet still getting the same error in the logs and news not displaying because of it. Below is my config. Any ideas?

  		module: "MMM-News",

  		config: {
    		apiKey : "XXXXXXXXX",
    		type: "horizontal",

      },
    ],

  }
},

limited to 100 query by day and 50 query for 12 hours

It’s not me who have set this limit but it’s news api
and sorry, i don’t work in news api too ! :)

so now just a little calc…

you have 10 query and refresh is set to 15m

for one query for one hour (every 15min) => 4 query
for 10 query for one hour (every 15 min) => 4*10 = 40 query

in 12 hours with one query => 12 * 4 = 48 query / 50 max
in 12 hours with 10 query => 12* 40 = 480 query / 50 max

in 24 hours with one query => 24 * 4 => 96 query / 100 Max
in 24 hours with 10 query => 24*40 => 960 query / 100 max

That why you have this error… and I just calc the number of query

{
   sources: "fox-news, fox-sports",
},

–> result: it take 9 query (take a lot of resource)

{
   country: "us",
   className: "redTitle",
 },

–> result: it take just one query

Note: personnaly, i use only redTitle of my country
Note 2: i will add soon a counter for calc if number of query is correct

@Bugsounet Ok thanks for the detailed explanation. Here is my config now so hopefully this should resolve it.

  		module: "MMM-News",

perfect, it should work perfectly now

swvalenti

Oddly the sizing of the module just randomly changed and got smaller. How do I make the entire module bigger to fill out the bottom_bar? I went into CSS but nothing I did seem to change anything.

swvalenti

I added this to custom css but just doesn’t look right. What could have changed the sizing as nothing was updated from the default install? I uninstalled and re-installed and same thing.

body  {
transform:scale(1.0);
}
.MMM-News {
transform:scale(1,1.75);
}

“Oddly”, i have not touch to the css code
and “Oddly” i don’t touche the main code
and “Oddly” I run this module in 3 differents RPI
and “Oddly” … this is no problem !

so try to disable all module one by one (except this modules), disable custom.css too

and “Oddly”, you will see : it works…
