I did some more checking and the WU API keys and calls have changed. If you upload to WU you can get a new key. But until the forecasting code is updated they will not work because they change the API calls.
Any timeline for issuing a new forecasting addon WeewX? For those that have not seen the WU notice, here it is: If you have a personal weather station that uploads to Weather Underground and have been waiting to get a key for the new API, here are the instructions. Please note that if you do NOT download data from the Weather Underground API, you probably don't need a key. Uploading data to Wunderground from your PWS is not the same thing. **** Dear PWS uploaders, thank you for your continued loyalty and patience! *The gateway for the new API keys for PWS uploaders is open.* Cut and paste this URL into your browser: https://www.wunderground.com/member/api-keys <https://www.wunderground.com/member/api-keys?_ga=2.114409799.196118847.1554163090-199462139.1554163090> If you are not logged in, you will be asked to. The system will also verify that you have a PWS uploading to the system. You will then see a blank box below “Your API keys”. Agree to the new Terms and Conditions by clicking in the small box next to “I agree”, click on the blue “GENERATE” box, and your new key will be created. The key will be masked on the screen, but you can use the “Show” link below the box to see it. There is also another blue box, which, when clicked, copies the key to your clipboard. If you have any problems, log out and log back in again. If that does not resolve the problem, *please email me at [email protected] <https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&[email protected]>* . *Next*, once you have your new key, you can use it in the NEW (not old!) API’s commands. The documentation for those commands is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eKCnKXI9xnoMGRRzOL1xPCBihNV2rOet08qpE_gArAY/edit The new API should work immediately once you have the new key in the new commands. Remember that the new keys work on the new API only, and the old keys work on the old API only. Old API keys that are associated with a PWS will be kept working until *March 22, 2019.* However, that will be *the very last day for those API keys to work*, so you should transition as quickly as you can to the new API.
