Switch from retired Yahoo Weather API to OpenWeatherMap (or another free API) #191

Closed lailoken503 closed 3 years ago

lailoken503 commented 3 years ago

My channel tells me that the .w trigger no longer works. Checking the logs, I see there's an error accessing the API, so when I copied the API url into my browser, I'm seeing the following message: {"error": "Sorry this API is now retired and there is no alternative API that we can support. We greatly appreciated the opportunity to have served you in this space. Thankfully, there are many alternative weather APIs freely available for you to consider. While we cannot formally recommend one over others, we would recommend searching the web for %"free weather APIs%" to see several good options and find the best fit for you. If you have any comments or feedback you’d like to share, please feel free to reach out to us at: weather-ydn-api@verizonmedia.com"}

@lailoken503 Thanks for the report. Really too bad, Yahoo Weather has been an excellent API for a long time.

I'll work on switching to OpenWeatherMap soon.

Hey! Would you mind if I took this issue on? Not sure if you've made any progress or not.

Heya @TheN00bBuilder, PRs are always welcome to the project! Looks like @obviyus already took care of this in #192, so I'll look at getting that merged today or tomorrow. Thanks for the interest!
