Added API Key, JSON error #79

I followed all the steps and added my API Key. Ran "python smartmirror.py" and received these error messages (however SmartMirror opened, displaying the date/time and news feed ONLY. No weather.):

pi@raspberrypi:~/Smart-Mirror $ python smartmirror.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "smartmirror.py", line 157, in get_weather weather_obj = json.loads(r.text) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/init.py", line 339, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 364, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 382, in raw_decode raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded") ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded Error: No JSON object could be decoded. Cannot get weather.

I am generally new to this and do not no where to go from here. Google searches have turned up nothing so far. Does anyone else have this issue and/or know of a way to solve it?

I had that problem at one time, the way I fixed it was I had to add a latitude and longitude string located right under the api token. Replace the word "None" with your lat- long location. Go to google and look up the lat long for your city and this should fix it.

That fixed the issue! Thank you very much for the advice!
