Problem with Open Weather Map

Post by zakos52 »

I have registered with the Open Weather Map network, I have received an API, Station ID and Station Name.

When I add Open Weather Map to Weather Nets and enter the API I have received, a different Station ID and Station Name are displayed without the possibility of changing! However, all the options are checked with a green tick and so it seems that everything is OK

But in the Upload Status I notice that no data is being sent, because there is the message «http://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/ ... f7a87ea464: 2026-01-09 01:08:35 ERROR 400: Bad Request. (no more tries)»

I have the following questions
1. Why does the Open Weather Map in the Weather Nets display a different Station ID and Station Name than the ones I received?
2. What does the message in Upload Status mean?
3 Can the administrator put the correct Station ID and Station Name?

ad 1) I entered data for "API key" and "Station Name", pressed "save" and the input I gave is permanently stored. I cannot reproduce your issue of data input disappearing.
ad 2) error 400 tells that the Open Weather Map server cannot process the sent data for any reason and is not telling why.
ad 3) you can do, see 1)
