Hello,

I was wondering if anyone else is having issues publishing records to WeatherUnderground starting yesterday around 11:52PM EST? Both standard and rapid updates seem to be failing but I've validated the API is working and reachable from my server.

Sep 22 13:11:25 homeserver python3[25207]: weewx[25207] INFO weewx.engine: Starting main packet loop.
Sep 22 13:11:27 homeserver python3[25207]: weewx[25207] ERROR weewx.restx: Wunderground-RF: Failed to publish record 2022-09-22 13:11:27 UTC (1663852287): Failed upload after 1 tries

Curl works:
curl https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/current\?stationId\=KMABOSTO365\&format\=json\&units\=e\&apiKey\=<private>
{"observations":[{"stationID":"KMABOSTO365","obsTimeUtc":"2022-09-22T15:34:19Z","obsTimeLocal":"2022-09-22 11:34:19","neighborhood":"Beacon Hill","softwareType":"Maximum Inc","country":"US","solarRadiation":null,"lon":-71.069,"realtimeFrequency":null,"epoch":1663860859,"lat":42.357,"uv":null,"winddir":315,"humidity":0,"qcStatus":1,"imperial":{"temp":68,"heatIndex":68,"dewpt":null,"windChill":68,"windSpeed":0,"windGust":9,"pressure":null,"precipRate":0.00,"precipTotal":0.00,"elev":56}}]}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tyler

They're all 401 errors ("Unauthorized")

Nothing since 9/21 @ 10:55 a.m. ET. :-(

getting errors like the following in the log:

Mine is also showing offline, but there are stations around me that are online, FYI. 

 Mine should be close to where it says Marions Camp.

Mine is back online as well. Wonder what that was all about?

My weather station is still offline.  Given the number of posts here I'm assuming it's a Weather Underground issue.

Just in case anyone else is still having WU issues, make sure you are using the "Key" in your WU profile instead of your WU account password in weewx.conf.
Login to your wunderground.com account and go to "My Devices" under "My Profile". Next to your Station ID, you will see "Key" and in my case, it is 8 characters. Use that Key for your password in weewx.conf. This is not the same as the "API Key".

[[Wunderground]]

# This section is for configuring posts to the Weather Underground.


# If you wish to post to the Weather Underground, set the option 'enable' to true, then

# specify a station (e.g., 'KORHOODR3') and password. To guard against parsing errors, put

# the password in quotes.

enable = true

station = your station id 

password = "key
"


# If you plan on using wunderfixer, set the following

# to your API key:

api_key =
your API Key

Hope this helps as this was my issue.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks a lot for this advice.
I replaced my WU password by the device key and I do not have upload problems anymore.

After a long long outage that was never explained and could never be diagnosed my Wunderground site is back on the air.

Thanks
David
