App says that my API key is invalid about oss-weather HOT 16 CLOSED

@MattRGX ok i ll give a look on my side.

@MattRGX i LL take a look. It was not like that before.
But I understand I wouldn't add my credit card either

from oss-weather.

@abalteaux not the same api. I could switch to use multiple api calls but I would prefer not to.

Same exact issue, on Android

from oss-weather.

@n5corp @MattRGX i just tried with my key and it works. Does you key give you access to the onecall api?
Any chance one of you can share his key privately?

from oss-weather.

I took the free plan on openweathermap.

So i guess we don't have access to the onecall api with this free plan.

The other plan where we have access to the onecall api is also free.

But we need to put the credit card numbers to get the API key because up to a certain point it's not free anymore.
And obviously for security and money purposes, i don't want to put my credit card numbers on the OWM website.

@MattRGX could you ensure there is no unwanted spaces in your apikey (like at the end) from the application settings.
It did just happened to me that copying from the website i get a space at the end and end up with an invalid api key error

I've just double checked again the API key and there is no extra space or unwanted spaces at the beginning or at the end.

What plan do you use for your API key on OWM website ?

from oss-weather.

@MattRGX thanks i still made a new release with a fix for that (and other fixes).
as for my i use the base plan.Is it the same for you? I even tried to generate a new key and it is working

from oss-weather.

@farfromrefug i use the free plan that is available in the "Professional collections" subscription plan.
I'm not using the other free plan that is available in the "One call by call" subscription plan.

FYI I'm on the same plan and I have the same issue, although I can query the API directly just fine with my key.

from oss-weather.

@abalteaux which API can you query directly?
I think owm changed the free tier and the one call api is not available anymore.
I am working on a new free weather provider

from oss-weather.

@farfromrefug Here's an example of what I can query directly https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=$CITY_NAME&appid=$API_KEY
I only looked briefly at https://github.com/Akylas/oss-weather/blob/master/app/services/owm.ts#L43-54 and it looked fairly similar

from oss-weather.

i have the same problem :(

my free api key is unvalid and doesnt work in the app :(

how can i fix it ?

from oss-weather.

@xerves78 sadly it seems we can't . this JS why I added open-meteo provider which will always be free
