      Hello,
      I have an Ecowitt GW1000 gateway and would like to upload data into Windy. The gateway supports the WUG protocol, which is compatible with the Windy Stations API. My problem is that the GW1000 only accepts paths with max 64 characters. My path with API key is 136 characters long. Is there a possibility to get a shortened key?

      Best Regards

        Hello, in order to send us data, you will likely need additional software such as CumulusMX.

          Ok, I know that it works with external software. But my weather station already supports uploading directly to Windy.
          Only my problem is that my API key or the API path, which is provided by Windy with 136 characters is much too long. I don't understand why the path (with API) has to be so long. My weather station only allows 64 characters. Then, unfortunately, I have to use a Raspberry. I guess that's the way it is.

            @walnusshirsch Hello, in this case, I would recommend to contact the Ecowitt support and ask why it does not support more characters.
