AERIS Forecast (authentication change)

[Doug Jenkins]

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue with Belchertown and AERIS forecast. I was receiving forecasts from AERIS up to 12/15/2021 1:00PMEST. After that, I am getting this error in my weewx.log:

**** Error downloading forecast data. Check the URL in your configuration and try again. You are trying to use URL: https://api.aerisapi.com/forecasts/27.872488,-82.821730?&format=json&filter=day&limit=7&client_id=4bsPze5DiJpq7sEIRk60G&client_secret=cYZ4xZ2Uyj4WWRMbkrZbRiEsuWMn2co9hwyBHTTh, and the error is: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized

**** FULL SNIPPET OF LOG IS ATTACHED TO THIS MESSAGE **** AERIS was providing forecast data to accounts that were publishing data to PWSWeather.com. I went to the AERIS website and they stated they have changed their authentication recently and need everyone to reset their account. I submitted a reset account request multiple times, but no response. Anyone else experiencing this?

You might to generate a new key since you posted your keys here.....

If you have a link regarding them asking folks to reset their account (whatever that means), it would be nice to pass along.

Thanks for the heads up! I figured I will be regenerating keys or dumping this service all together! :)

I did figure this out. AERIS changed their login process, so you need to create a AERISWeather account. I simply followed Pat O'Briens' link and recreated my account.

Here are the steps:

1. Setup your weather station on PWSWeather.com. Make sure you obtain a API key from the station page as that will be your new password in weewx.conf for your station id.
2. go to https://www.aerisweather.com/signup/pws and login with your PWSWeather.com email and password. They will send you a verification code in your email.

3. Once verified, you will be prompted to create an AERISWeather.com account. They login id is now your email address. I just created a new account with my email and moved on.

4. Once you are in the dashboard, you create a "app". I used my base domain as the namespace. It created a ID and secret. I added these into the forecast api key and secret in the Belchertown skin settings in weewx.conf.

I just performed all of these steps and just pulled the forecast a minute ago in my weewx weatherstation.
