Hey all,
the https://wxdata.weather.com service is no longer available as of today.
I just saw my skin won't show any weather information. When checking the API-URL you get the message "This service is deprecated as of 01/15/2020".
Is there any replacement yet?
Thanks in advance!

Re: wxdata.weather.com service deprecated
weather.com didn't require an API key. I think it would be fine for a small fix, but is there any solution for the whole community? As of now, almost every weather widget is broken.

Re: wxdata.weather.com service deprecated
Each user would require their own API key though right?

Check out my skin here: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=34233
You can gut the weather code if you don't like the look and feel - it uses isitraining.in to get weather information. This has not failed me yet.

Why not use Dark Sky instead? It offers daily forecasts for free, which OWM doesn't.

Re: wxdata.weather.com service deprecated
It is what it is. As far as I know, there aren't any other free api key-less APIs you can use. Unless you're willing to parse a website.
