Interesting read.
This really has me interested.. "If you are a Personal Weather Station owner, you will receive more information about our plan to offer free access to the data you provide to Weather Underground. We’ll reach out once that plan has been finalized."

After my website been mostly down since the old WU API is been taking away (I own an AcuRite 5 in 1 which it only communicates with WU). I check on WU and I did got a new API key and thanks to user nicoloconte I was able to create an small php file to use that new API with the Meteotemplate API. Currently is working, I just finished a few hours ago so don't know the reliability of the new WU API. I uploaded this new php to the update folder and modified the cronjob to execute this one instead of the update.php. See attachment, don't judge this is my first php. Also make sure this php has execution permissions.

OK, beautiful I get the json data when using the
https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observat ... stationId=... URL, but the cron does not update the data and if I go into the Meteotemplate admin and try to set it up as a custom api with the new api script, and try the "Show Field Numbers" this is what I get:
Loading file...
Loading CSV/text file from NewWUAPI.php
File loaded successfully.
Starting to parse data....
Loaded data:
Field Number Value
0
So it appears I am missing a step.
Troubleshooting now, but any tips? Most likely I am missing something important...

Kevin, I'm glad you got it working again, you're welcome. It's been very reliable so far only once I got a notification that the new WU API failed, but it was around 3am so I'm not complaining.

RobF I think you're trying to use Custom File instead of the API option from the drop down. I don't export the json data to a csv, I extract the data that my WS provides and using the Meteotemplate API use it to update the webpage every 5 minutes. See
here for information on how to use the API.
