wunderground import error

[george kyr]

Last night I tried to import data from wunderground and I got this error. I read here that wunderground has changed something in its API. I wonder if I can do what Sylvain did, but I have installed v.4.10.2

Here's the error:

:~ $ sudo wee_import --import-config=/etc/weewx/import/wu-example.conf --from=2023-10-10T23:59 --to=2023-10-29T23:59 --verbose --dry-run

If you are running WeeWX v4.10.2 under python3 you should be able to use (untested) the patched wee_import files mentioned in this thread and replace the v4.10.2 versions. Since you are running WeeWX v4.x the process (and instructions) are a little less complicated:

1. Rename /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/wuimport.py and /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/weeimport.py so you can revert the files if needed:

$ mv /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/wuimport.py /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/wuimport_orig.py

$ mv /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/weeimport.py /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/weeimport_orig.py

2. Download the patched files wuimport.py and weeimport.py:

$ wget -P /usr/share/weewx/weeimport https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weewx/weewx/V5/src/weeimport/wuimport.py

$ wget -P/usr/share/weewx/weeimport https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weewx/weewx/V5/src/weeimport/weeimport.py

3. You can now use wee_import.

If you need to revert the files just delete /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/wuimport.py and /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/weeimport.py and move the renamed originals back in place:

$ mv /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/wuimport_orig.py /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/wuimport.py

$ mv /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/weeimport_orig.py /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/weeimport.py
