Dark Sky API being shut down after 2021 #145

Closed gileri closed 2 years ago

gileri commented 4 years ago

According to a blog post, Dark Sky is being bought and will shut down their public API in 2021.

I think it will be needed to set another backend as default, then remove the backend after the API is shut down.

Based on the news coverage and the blog being "cleaned up" I don't think this is an April fool.

It's being shut down to current API customers in 2021, but they've already stopped taking new registrations.

Yep, we'll need to figure out something new. I'll have a look around, maybe there is something easy and neat available these days. For now I'll close this bug.

FWIW, OpenWeatherMap has DarkSky compatible API now: https://openweathermap.org/darksky-openweather Wego already has dedicated OWM backend, but it looks like OWM OneCall provides more data.

Yeah, I'd rather add a OWM onecall backend (or extend the existing one) rather than keep the DarkSky layer in place. Seems a bit less of a maintenance burden. If you want to give it a try, I'm happy to review.
