Possible drop in replacement for Fantastic Weather plugin

Thanks for the links and the head's up.

Finally got round to trying this. Signed up for a Pirate API and have put it into the FW plugin configuration, but I keep getting messages saying that the plugin is unable to make a successful API connection. Not sure how to address (and also appreciate that plugin is on its last legs!)

I get the same issue so maybe an issue being outside of the US.

@Londonmark and @neilk -- if you haven't updated to at least plugin version 2022.0.3, it definitely won't work.

https://github.com/DaveL17/Fantastic-We ... g/2022.0.3

I can't speak to the "outside the US" bit, but I don't suspect that's an issue. I don't have a VPN service to test that theory with.

Hereby the request to get some advice.
- Update to the latest version of the FW plugin
- Changed the patch in the .ply file
- Filled in the new API from pirate-weather
- Restarted the FW plugin
and still getting the message, unable to make a successful connection to the API.

Does someone have suggestions how I can get this working again?

thx in advance

Dave - I am indeed on the latest version (I had changed the earlier one to the new api call to test), I tried VPN's into the US and it made no difference.

I suspect it may be something to do with my account, even using the full API documentation page to make a call with my key it fails

so I suspect we will need to take it up on the site as it is nothing to do with the plugin (or location if my VPN test is to be believed.

I had another user that couldn't get an updated version to work and we were unable to figure out why. I can't reproduce the problem here. (That user was in the States.)

Try:
Copy your API key to the clipboard.
Disable the FW plugin.
Delete the plugin preferences file at:

Code: Select all

/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 2022.2/Preferences/Plugins/com.fogbert.indigoplugin.fantasticwWeather.indiPref

Restart the plugin and re-enter the plugin preferences (including the new API key).

@Neilk

Sorry to hear that you're still having trouble. Hopefully, the developer will be able to help you find a solution. If you find one, please share with the class.

Good luck!

I have tried everything and I cannot get it to work - if anyone figures it out please let everyone know what they did.

I have raised an issue and will keep everyone posted on progress, it is definitely not plugin related as the calls fail directly against the API for my account.

Just to confirm - I'm definitely running 2202.0.3 and it's definitely not managing to make a succesfful connection to the API.

For what its worth its not working for me either, nothing to do with the plugin, even if I create the request on the Full reference page on the Pirate https://pirate-weather.apiable.io/full-api-reference#get-/forecast/-api_key-/-lat_and_long_or_time-weather website

Perhaps it is regional thing, I'm in the UK as well, does anyone actually have it working?

@Colin - I assume your question is directed at U.K. users (or non-U.S.) users. It's working for me, but with data issues.

I’m in the UK and it’s not working.

I raised an issue on the GitHub page and will also email the owner/author. It seems he changed the sign up process and I wonder if it is correctly setting the new API keys up. Out of interest anyone in the UK working with this (or outside the. US). ?
