Data are wrong (accuweather instead of openweather) #402

Open shumafuk opened 2 years ago

shumafuk commented 2 years ago

In my hometown, data from openweahter are more accurate than from accuweahter. However, geometric weather shows mi data from accuweather, no matter which weather source is selected. Should I set something else except "weather source" in settings to get different data?

Yes, you need to add a new location from the OpenWeather provider in the search, so you can have twice the same location from different providers.

You also need your own API key in the advanced settings, if not already done.

Thanks. Do we have some guide for this? Should API be with endpoint?

papjul commented 2 years ago

You only need to do the search like you did for Accu Weather.

For API, you only need an API key, see FAQ "How to get an API key" https://openweathermap.org/faq

I did it as written but data cannot be loaded. "Request weather data failed."

I have probably same issue as mentioned here: https://github.com/WangDaYeeeeee/GeometricWeather/issues/395

My API url with my hometown has data that can be seen in browser just fine.

I have probably same issue as mentioned here: #395

My API url with my hometown has data that can be seen in browser just fine.

Same for me, request failing and code 400 ("nothing to geocode") via browser API call.

Is this an OpenWeatherMap issue? I get the result on their website search just fine.

Sorry to post in both issues, not sure if both get the same visibility.

Edit: This link returns values just fine: https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=[City,2LetterContryCode]&appid=[APIKey]

Maybe a wrong syntax for OpenWeatherMap queries?

Edit2: Somehow switching between providers had my app show failed requests regardless of provider. App data deletion fixed it (default accuweather settings).

Edit3: Downgraded to 3.100_fdroid, OpenWeatherMap works fine again. Possibly a bug in 3.102.
