Weather not working :(
Weather not working :(
Hi!
I'm having some trouble getting the weather working, I'm using the demo at the moment as i want to make sure I can get everything working on this software that's working on our current station and old software before I make the purchase and switching over. At the moment we have Weather announcements every so often so want to repeat that..
See below - the software has internet access as it can get through to RSS feeds and the inbuilt browser works.. And in internet explorer i can get to the api.openweather.org site, and download the .json so the site itself shouldn't be blocked..
The test URL i am using is: http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/ ... VATEAPIKEY**
Any help would be appreciated

Re: Weather not working :(
To use the open weather api you must. Apply for an api key and enter it within the general settings.
Are you using your own key here?

Re: Weather not working :(
Yep - see below, i have added it by right clicking on weather and putting it in there.. Is there another setting elsewhere?
Re: Weather not working :(
No. That is fine. I’ll need to verify tomorrow!

No worries
Also I didn't mention it in the initial post but our network uses a proxy but that is obviously working for the RSS feed and Web Browser..
Proxy settings are: domain\username:password@proxy.domain:8080
I assume the weather goes through that as well?

Re: Weather not working :(
Just tested it here and it works fine - see the attached screenshot.
I used my own private weather API key and my location - so please check, if any of yours is incorrect...?

Re: Weather not working :(
Sorry Bernd, I agree with sDoddler, when setting the API key, nothing happens, if deleting the key it works again.
Is YOUR key in there somewhere? (Incorporated in the software so we are all using your key?)

Re: Weather not working :(
By default it might be, as it was on an older version.
But that has been removed once it was not allowed anymore. But it could be due to some older historical settings.
Regardless, you need to use (as said) your own private API key.

Re: Weather not working :(
Yeah i think Inzane might be right - I have removed the API key and it does work. When i add my own again, and i have double checked it is all correct, the weather stops working.. This seems like it might be a bug as everyone using the software might be using your API key?
Re: Weather not working :(
Yes, my old API key is still in shared use when you do not specify your own! But that key is not reliable, as it is shared by all users and as such no guarantee !
OpenWeather can stop or limit its use. But it often is better than not working at all. And it also comes with various timing/refresh limits.
If your own API key is not working, this is kind of a prove, ghayyou should check the status of your own API key - looks, like this has an issue or is stopped by OpenWeather.
