simpleweatherjs.com down, api not responding

[airplanenoise]

hi -

seems like the simpleweatherjs.com domain lapsed, and while that may not be related (just noticing that now) the weather embed is returning "There was a problem retrieving the latest weather information." after working great for about 1 month.

no error message, no timeout, nothing in the console. anybody else experience this?

thanks!

same here. see this link for more info - https://developer.yahoo.com/weather/

yeah - saw the message about the endpoints, but the simpleweather v3.1.0 is using the right YPL ... weird!

Seems like it's resolved itself?

Seems so, my weather app is working as it should now also.

I've been getting the same error myself, rather frustrating as my OS Project uses this awesome plugin to display/announces the weather for the user.

I looked into it further and looks it's an issue with https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public (not so much v1/public), but with the query.yahooapis.com address. It's saying no IP Address is found. Can this be resolved asap?

[tolppa]

weather.yahooapis.com and query.yahooapis.com for Yahoo Weather API retired. Yahoo says that endpoint should be changed to https://weather-ydn-yql.media.yahoo.com/forecastrss.

That makes perfect sense! Could this be included in the next update or release please? If you could that, it would be greatly appreciated. I love this plugin so much!

Please see https://developer.yahoo.com/weather/. You would need to create an API key, whitelist your app and use OAuth1. I wonder if it would be better to use an alternative data source like https://openweathermap.org/api. Let's wait and see what monkeeCreate says.
