Error 401: Unauthorized with personal OpenWheaterMap API key

[CocoCocoAlx]

Hi. It this plugin working? I get these messages when I set my location. I get succesfully added my personal api key to the program, but still get errors. What I'm doing wrong? My system is SparkyLinux 5.x Nibiru (Debian Testing) with LXQt 0.13.0, with all up-to-date. Many thanks for your work!

Hello

Everything is working, something is going wrong with your key or your installed version. Check if you have the latest version above this one https://github.com/dglent/meteo-qt/releases/tag/v0.9.7 Check your key in your account here: https://home.openweathermap.org/blocks

Hi, sorry for delay. My installed version of your program is 0.9.9, with Python 3.6.7 and Qt 5.11.3. In OpenWeatherMap, my key is not shown as blocked. There is another thing to try? Many thanks. Greetings from Argentina.

I forgot to mention that: when I try to access directly from web browser with the API url, it works. For example, in browser I put: https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Posadas&appid=&lang=es and I obtain this:

{"coord":{"lon":-55.89,"lat":-27.37},"weather":[{"id":804,"main":"Clouds","description":"nubes","icon":"04n"}],"base":"stations","main":{"temp":301.15,"pressure":1006,"humidity":65,"temp_min":301.15,"temp_max":301.15},"visibility":10000,"wind":{"speed":2.1,"deg":110},"clouds":{"all":90},"dt":1542931200,"sys":{"type":1,"id":4727,"message":0.0042,"country":"PY","sunrise":1542962490,"sunset":1543011525},"id":3429886,"name":"Posadas","cod":200}

so I understand that the key is working, right?

Thanks again and sorry for my bad english. Bye!

Try to remove the file: ~/.config/meteo-qt/meteo-qt.conf in order to start as a fresh install If negative: Open the file ~/.config/meteo-qt/meteo-qt.conf and change the line for logging from INFO to DEBUG: [Logging] Level=DEBUG Launch meteo-qt from the terminal Copy the link that provokes the 401 error and open it with the browser and copy it here (without your personal key)

Hi again, yes, I try two or three refreshes of the config file, but still not working. Debug output is:

DEBUG: Update... - meteo_qt DEBUG: Fetching url for actual weather: http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?id=3429886&mode=xml&units=metric&APPID= - meteo_qt DEBUG: Fetching url for 6 days :http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?id=3429886&mode=xml&units=metric&APPID=&cnt=7 - meteo_qt WARNING: Error: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized - meteo_qt INFO: Try again...1 - meteo_qt (...)

And nothings happen.

It blocks in the 6 days forecast Try this in your browser by adding the your key: http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?id=3429886&mode=xml&units=metric&APPID=&cnt=7

If it blocks try with cnt=6 cnt=5 cnt=4 and tell me which is working (so i will adapt the number of days for the forecast)

Well... from 7 to 1, none. In all cases the site denies the access and fail. You got a free API key, or it's a paid key? Maybe OWM are changing the terms of use...

Ok i see. I have a free key too but it works now because for a period didn't work either. I thought that they aloud now the 6 days forecast. I will be oblige to remove the 6 days and take the 4 days forecast as i had before. I will fix this in the next days (probably this weekend)

Thanks for reporting it

[dglent]

Could you please test the above fix ?

[CocoCocoAlx]

It working now! If I set language in options, changes won't save. Can I set the language of the information gathered from OpenWeatherMap? Adding "&lang=es" at the end of the URL the results came in spanish. Which lines I would to modify?

Many thanks for your excellent work! (And, again, sorry for my bad english)

Greetings again. We can close this post if you decide.

Hi again, I solve that installing as root the app and translating some strings myself. I'm very satisfied. Marked as solved and closed.

Greetings!
