OK, that explains the api_key issue. 3.9.2 (the latest release version)
does not use api_key, hence the error you receive. Subsequent to the 3.9.2
release there have been numerous wunderfixer commits in an attempt to have
wunderfixer work properly given the changes/chaos at WU. Somewhere in these
commits api_key was introduced. WeeWX 4.0 will include the wunderfixer with
all of these commits, I have not kept across wunderfixer/WU changes so i
will let others advise on what wunderfixer version to use with 3.9.2.
