Dark Sky finally switched off...

[WessexWeather]

So it looks like Dark Sky has finally been switched off - until yesterday the Forecast Block still worked for Dark Sky but it stopped updating yesterday.
The Outlook Block also appears to have stopped working, presumably because it also used the Dark Sky API.
Yet another great feature of Meteotemplate bites the dust

pirate weather or virtualcrossing could be an alternative.

I see that that pwsdashboard (a weather template) has already implemented those in their template.

But i don't have the knowledge to write the php scrips.

maybe @davidefa?

Is'nt openweathermap an alternative?
This has been announced some weeks ago as successor for darksky.
I am using this at my site and as far as I can say it works fine for me.

can you share the block?

Thx Alex

Sure, but I was mistaken, its not the forecast block, it the forecast from menu weather - outlook which refers to darksky net previously and is now switched to openweathermap.org.
The forecast block still uses yr.no and meteoblue at my site.

Note for the openweathermap call on your pages, is a potentially paid subscription necessary.
I will try this free API-Call in few hours if my subscription activated:

Code: Select all

Hello, what else do I have to consider so that the forecast works again?

Api Key from Openweather is ready replaced with Dark Sky Key.
