For everyone reading this in the future: It can take "a couple of hours" until your API key is activated (see https://openweathermap.org/faq#error401).

Hi @altaihero, does calling the following URL in your browser work for you (replace the X's by your api key)?

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Berlin&APPID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

from openweathermap-php-api.

Hi @munkh-altai You should use appid not APPID

from openweathermap-php-api.

If you are a new start,it need ten minutes or more time before the key can use

from openweathermap-php-api.

Hi @marlonlom!

Does the problem persist? Does calling http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Berlin&APPID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX directly from your browser work?

I tried the answers above but to no avail. 👎

from openweathermap-php-api.

i'm calling it with appid={key} and it doesn't work ! this must be some kind of bug and failure in the API
i even deleted the API key and generated a new one still the same

Please note that it takes a few minutes until your new api key is activated.

If the key doesn't work after a few minutes, try contacting the OpenWeatherMap team. I can't really help with that. 😕

If you just sign up user or create API keys, just wait a for minutes(or more) it was solved.

Hi @georgeharnwell, are you on a free account? The historical weather condition api is not free, see http://openweathermap.org/price (it was free months (years?) ago but isn't anymore).

from openweathermap-php-api.

The major problem is, it takes couple of hours to activate the API

Hi! For me your link works, (I know the 15-30 minutes of waiting from the creation). Please help me... If it could be useful, the script is here: https://github.com/DelManari/AR-Weather

from openweathermap-php-api.

you need to wait just 10-15 minutes because it will take time to activate your API key. after that you can use it as follow,

https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London&appid=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

for me it worked perfectly!

from openweathermap-php-api.

I know the 15-30 minutes of waiting from the creation

Hey @xgqfrms-GitHub,

please stop spamming random links and sentences. If this was StackOverflow, I'd close this with "unsure what you are asking"...

If you are unhappy with what OpenWeatherMap provides, either argue with them directly or use a different, probably paid, service.

from openweathermap-php-api.

@Naveed-anwar123 you are using the samples.openweathermap.org endpoint. You should use the api.openweathermap.org endpoint instead.

I am using valid api key still its not working please help

from openweathermap-php-api.

If you just signed up, the automated email says that key will be activated in couple of hours. You should check back after couple of hours

from openweathermap-php-api.

Maybe it's just that you have to wait around 30 minutes to start using a new APPID, that happened to me.

from openweathermap-php-api.

just wait for sometime(15 mins approx) after you signup or generate a api key, before calling the api 👍

from openweathermap-php-api.

You get this if trying to access a paid/premium service. Look for the free ones!

Hi @munkh-altai You should use appid not APPID

this worked for me! thanks! I changed APPID to appid in Postman and the weather data replaced the error message

from openweathermap-php-api.

hey guys. As mentioned before, I cannot get a request through my terminal as it says Invalid API key. But it does work through my browser.

curl -v http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Berlin&APPID=MYAPIKEY - This is how I do it through my terminal. Is that wrong? Many thanks for help.

from openweathermap-php-api.

This is a working template - https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Kharkiv&units=metric&APPID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
Replace XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with your API key

my api key is very old....still getting the issue ..why?

from openweathermap-php-api.

While working with flutter I have the same issue.
While hitting the URL from browser the URL : https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=26.5778&lon=78.494953&appid=525xxxxxxx598b

and hitting from the mobile URL will be changed to
https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather %3F lat=26.5778&lon=78.494953&appid=525xxxxxxx598b

So after /data/2.5/weather use the query parameter while hitting the API

for Flutter it is solved below:
final queryParameters = {
'lat': '26.5778',
'lon': 78.494953',
'appid': '525xxxxxxx598b',
};
var url = Uri.https('api.openweathermap.org', '/data/2.5/weather',queryParameters);

Unfortunately whoever downvoted that person who said it can take two hours was downvoting in vain.

OpenWeatherMap themselves say that it can take a few hours for an API key to be valid.

Why it takes so long is beyond me but I hope this helps somebody.

from openweathermap-php-api.

Had the same issue, took about 20 mins before the API key started to work.

I too had the same issue, took about 10 mins before the API key started to work.
