I would like to use this module, but I can't get an API key from wunderground. On there website it says: End of service for the weather underground API. Please help?

Did you find any solution?

vanderlaars commented 5 years ago

Yeah, have the same problem. Currently looking for alternate solution.

:-( Same problem here.

Seems that IBM replaced it with the general weather channel API. Downside is that there is no longer a free plan for intermittent long-term use. I also bet the API is different and would require a new interface.

Anyways, here's the new IBM page: https://console.bluemix.net/catalog/services/weather-company-data

And it just stopped working here today. I wasn't aware yet. I am now. I just checked. The only plan available for free is a free plan with 10.000 (lifetime!) API calls max. On a technically different interface ;(

Working on a solution with weatherbits API. Will post today (Friday 15 March 2019).

DarkSky has an API as well, 1000 free / day. https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-DarkSkyForecast

Ah! Missed that one. I kind of "hacked" the use of the weatherbits API into this module. And it work. Weatherbits has no free warnings though, so maybe DarkSky is better. But for a quick solution: https://github.com/martinkooij/MMM-MyWeather is working now with almost the same parameterset. (differences explained in the README.md documentation).
