Windy API Invalid **solved**

Post by grwkak »

Anyone else using Windy to display data and running into "invalid API key error".
This just appeared and I tried changing the API key - actually, this confounded me a bit as I don't remember where I got this from so I created a new plugin key.

Actually I found the correct area and my key - seems the error started maybe around 5- 6am EST today. Maybe its a Windy server issue?

*Edited* In looking further - there does not seem to be a pause or gap in data - just the error message on the Meteobridge. Upload status shows "success" but Weathernets tab says "Error: Windy: invalid API key or connection error". Updated to latest build just in case - no difference.

@admin any idea what is happening here. Seems to be more of an annoyance than an issue as data are getting to Windy.

To my current understanding windy rejects data when more often sent as every 5 mins. This also applies to the credentials check on "Weather Network" tab.

I will remove credentials check on "Weather Network" tab for Windy. Hopefully, Windy will no that often freak-out anymore.

Mine is set for a 10 min interval - always possible its changed protocols.
