I am trying to understand how wunderfixer works, so for example I launch:

wunderfixer --date=2020-07-14 -o 20 --verbose --station=ISANKT121

and get this result:
Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf.
Using database binding 'wx_binding', which is bound to database 'archive_sqlite'
Weather Underground Station:   ISANKT121
Date to check:                 2020-07-14
Number of archive records:     288
Number of WU records:          284
Number of missing records:     4

Missing records:
2020-07-14 00:05:00 CEST (1594677900); 30.119";  56.2F;  84%; 0.0 mph; N/A deg; 0.0 mph gust;  51.5F; 0.00" rain  ...published.

2020-07-14 07:40:00 CEST (1594705200); 30.119";  51.6F;  92%; 0.0 mph; N/A deg; 1.1 mph gust;  49.4F; 0.00" rain  ...published.
2020-07-14 12:40:00 CEST (1594723200); 29.915";  75.6F;  41%; 1.5 mph; 151 deg; 4.5 mph gust;  50.5F; 0.00" rain  ...published.

So there have been 4 records not stored yesterday. Ok, the webiste reflects this also:
https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/ISANKT121/table/2020-07-14/2020-07-14/daily

I was expected that after the upload these 4 records are stored at wunderground.com, but no, they still wont show up there.

So I am relaunching the wunderfixer again - second attempt, same result:
pi@raspberry:~ $ wunderfixer --date=2020-07-14 -o 20 --verbose --station=ISANKT121

pi@raspberry:~ $ 


And data is still not showing up in wunderground.

Anyone has an idea what is going wrong?

Btw.: why does it happen that some records aren't uploaded properly to wunderground?

something interesting is that when I launch wunderfixer this way:

 wunderfixer --date=2020-07-14 -o 20 --verbose --station=ISANKT121  -t -p=mypw -k=myapikey

I get an 401 error:

Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf.
Using database binding 'wx_binding', which is bound to database 'archive_sqlite'
Weather Underground Station:   ISANKT121
Date to check:                 2020-07-14

Unable to open Weather Underground station ISANKT121  or  HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized
Could not get Weather Underground data.
Reason: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized
Exiting.


I tried chaning the api key. Nothing changed.
Weewx is still able to upload data to wunderground though. 

Any idea?

I had the same issue the other day. I uploaded the data and it said published, but it's still missing on Weather Underground.

Problems with the WU database are so legendary, one could write a haiku about it...

Good one! I think we've started a genre!
