Weather Mod

[Scott Sutton 2]

Has anyone successfully used the Weather Mod? I have it setup exactly like the user guide states and not getting any results. I am wondering if it doesn't work with the free API key or if maybe something in our corporate network is blocking the API. Trying to troubleshoot with developer tools but not seeing any errors.

Hi Scott, 

I just signed up and tried this out. The mod does two API calls: one for current weather, and one for 7 day forecast. It looks like the current free API key only gives you access to current weather, so the second call is failing. This is the service I have available on my account:

And here are the services they are currently offering, the free one is the first one on the left.

This was giving me errors in the developer console though, so not sure if it's the same issue you're facing. 

Once I commented out the code for the second API call, it did render something with the current weather for the specified cities. The mod would probably work OK with a paid API key so it's not completely broken, but for the free key it probably is. The source code is here if you'd like to tweak it to comment out the forecast call like I did: https://github.com/spotfiresoftware/spotfire-mod-weather

Thanks, @Glenn Hoskins. I had figured out that the call was failing but not why - i'll see if a paid key works. if not i may tweak the mod like you suggested. I appreciate the quick response!!
