invalid url for openweathermap?

[mglatz]

I believe the url for openweathermap is invalid, specifically the part .../2.5/3.0/... I am not getting any data from openweathermap for some time. I think the correct url should be https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?appid=XXXXXX&lat=YYY&lon=ZZZ&lang=en&units=metric

could we pelase have an option which api version to use? I dont really want to give them my credit card

No, not possible anymore with API 2.5. Switch to VisualCrossing. It is much better and 100% free.

Some time ago I made a comparison of weather precision (openweathermap vs weatherbit). Openweathermap gave better results so I'd like to stick with it at least for the current observations. Unfortunately I dont pearl so I can't contribute with reasonable effort but I'd appreciate if you'd consider allowing using owm on old api for current observations. Thank you :)

Well, it's not me, it's OpenWeatherMap who changed the API and restrict 2.5 API. I cannot change that, even if I want to. I can do nothing about that.

Contact OpenWeatherMap. Or give your payment accounts and restrict your API Key to 1000 calls/day. This way it's still free.

And as already mentioned: We now support VisualCrossing as Weather Service, which is the best I have ever seen so far. Including full radiation support in current and forecast data and 14 days hourly forecast. And 100% free.

Weatherbit is worse - you are absolutely right. VisualCrossing is not.

(At least some) of the old endpoints still work, such as this one https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?units=metric&lat={lat}&lon={lon}&appid={OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY}
