owm api errors

[mikejgray]

I'm seeing this in my personal backend logs:

[2023-06-01 04:31:05,875] ERROR in app: Exception on /v1/owm/onecall [GET]

have to ask, an api key is set in the backend config? Had no problems while requesting owm from the personal backend.

"microservices": {
        "ovos_fallback": true,
        "wolfram_provider": "auto",
        "weather_provider": "auto",
        "geolocation_provider": "auto",
        "wolfram_key": "",
        "owm_key": <some_key>
    },

Besides, the new weather skill is not requesting from owm any more

Yes it is. The weather skill not using owm may be the issue. I was running on all latest betas for OVOS - are you also, or are you on stable versions?

with weather i'm on a pr branch. (refactor/translatable) But there wouldn't be a owm call with weather v.0.0.1a8 / a7 either

[builderjer]

this has something to do with the admin_key value. I just came across the same error while doing a UI when trying to do a request without authorization. I guess the endpoint for weather wants admin access?
