I tried this yesterday. Was able to get the weewx-forecast <https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-forecast> extension to work when run with WeeWX 3.9 but when I configured my WU API key, the response was "service not available." On further investigation, it seems the WU API was shut down in February 2019. In it's place, there's an API at weather.com. You can see the announcement at https://apicommunity.wunderground.com/weatherapi/topics/weather-underground-api-update. Here are some links to the weather.com API: APIs for Personal Weather Station Contributors <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eKCnKXI9xnoMGRRzOL1xPCBihNV2rOet08qpE_gArAY/edit> 5 Day Daily Forecast for Personal Weather Station Owners - v3.0 <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_Zte7-SdOjnzBttb1-Y9e0Wgl0_3tah9dSwXUyEA3-c/edit> I was able to use my WU API key with the weather.com API and successfully retrieve a five-day forecast to my browser in JSON. At first glance, it appears the weather.com API bears little resemblance to the WU API other than the URL is specified differently. Assuming this is the case, it would take a bit of work to add the weather.com API to weewx-forecast as a supported service. However, I found that the weewx-forecast extension did not work with WeeWX 4 beta running with Python 3. It seems there are differences with the Python Thread module between v2 and v3. I was able to work around some of the issues but not to the extent that I could get the extension to work. -Bill > > On Thu, Apr 2, 2020 at 12:58 AM William Burton <[email protected] > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> On Wednesday, April 1, 2020 at 2:07:56 PM UTC-4, Chris Richmond wrote: >>> >>> Just saw that Apple bought DarkSky, and the API will get disabled end of >>> 2021.
