WU - gone

Post by Jachym » Sun May 19, 2019 4:30 pm

Hi guys,

as some of you have already noticed, as of today, WU deleted all their pages providing data from stations. Instead there is now a new API system, which however is also problematic because the key links in the documentation are non-functional. This will affect all users using WU for updating their templates as well as importing data from WU.

It is unfortunate, but not really a surprise for me...

Not sure what they have done. If I go to WU directly, all of my station data history can be displayed.

If I use the "Weather Report" function of Leuven Template, it will retrieve data from WU for 2010 thru 2018, but 2019 is blank.

When viewing on WU, my data went back to March 2005, but now the oldest is January 2008. So now on WU, my data is from Jan 2008 to Dec 2018.

I'm about to pull the plug on WU.

Hi,
yes, WU is working and it is receiving data from your station, but the pages where one could download this data are no longer working.

Yep https://www.wunderground.com/weathersta ... y&format=1 is none functional with an error code of "An error occurred while processing your request."
Reference #30.7eb21bb8.1558388276.5dcabcc since Saturday 5-18-2019

Well not really an error code but...

Oh well. Windy.com is looking better and better everyday for a backup. I need to set up a local MySQL database using my new gadget "Ecowitt GW1000b" device I have mentioned a few days ago which seems to be working very well although I have only had it for 4-5 days. No lockups or failures yet. ObserverIP ver 4.5.6 has locked up 3 times since. Frustrating.

The question is how long this will be supported, they want to completely merge to their new API.

It is also quite unbelievable that cutting off the original history pages came without any previous notice.

The problem is that I cant find such link in the documentation, which means it is not very reliable and could stop working any day too

OK, looking for a volunteer who uses WU for updates to test the fix for WU. If interested please email me.
