Hello everyone, I'm having trouble uploading to WOW.  I created an account got my username and created a password, but this keeps happening: 

Nov 10 19:10:18 weewx weewx[3837] DEBUG weewx.restx: WOW: Failed upload attempt 1: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
Nov 10 19:10:24 weewx weewx[3837] DEBUG weewx.restx: WOW: Failed upload attempt 2: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
Nov 10 19:10:30 weewx weewx[3837] DEBUG weewx.restx: WOW: Failed upload attempt 3: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
Nov 10 19:10:30 weewx weewx[3837] ERROR weewx.restx: WOW: Failed to publish record 2021-11-10 19:10:00 CST (1636593000): Failed upload after 3 tries

Not sure what would be causing a bad request, is there anyway to log the full response?

Thanks!
Tim

Hi,

Edit weewx.conf and set debug = 2. Save weewx.conf and restart WeeWX. You should now see the full URL used to upload to any of the restful services in the log. If you want any further help post a log extract from when you restarted WeeWX through until a couple of report cycles have completed. It’s import to capture the full WeeWX startup as well as the report cycles.

The above suggests that you created the account recently, but the help
page suggests the siteid format you are using is pre 2016?
( That's according to the section "Automatic Weather Stations" at
https://wow.metoffice.gov.uk/support/dataformats#automatic )

Are you using the correct Site ID for your site?

In my case it's a short string ( 941176001 ) , which is also in the
public address ...
https://bom-wow.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/view?siteID=941176001

[[WOW]]
[...]
station = 941176001

Then again (cleans glasses) if I could read properly - mine is the pre
2016 variant and yours is the newer version.

So. As you were.

I do believe I have the configuration right: 

    [[WOW]]
        # This section is for configuring posts to WOW.

        # If you wish to do this, set the option 'enable' to true,
        # and specify a station and password.
        enable = true
        station = f7fb9445-dd06-e911-9462-0003ff598847
        # To guard against parsing errors, put your password in quotes:
        password = XXXXXX
