Can I get some help posting my station data?
-
@raenrfm No, you should be able to send data if you have the Weewx plugin installed.
-
@Korina As I have stated before I have the same weewx plugin that worked before, nothing has changed on my end it used to work then now it doesn't. Not sure what changed...I made sure the API keys were correct but nothing ever shows up .

To ensure that your Weewx weather data is properly posted to your weather service provider, you will need to update the API key in your Weewx configuration file each time it changes. One way to automate this process is to use a script that updates the API key in the configuration file periodically, for example, every 24 hours. -
@AaravKrew Say what? Since when does the API randomly change? That makes no sense whatsoever.

@raenrfm
it's important to investigate whether there is a genuine issue with the API key generation. Verify that you're entering the API key in the correct location within the Weewx configuration file (weewx.conf). The API key should be placed in the appropriate field within the REST configuration section of the file. Refer to the Weewx documentation or consult the community forums for specific guidance on correctly configuring the API key. -

The API key that you see in your balenaCloud account is a temporary API key. This means that it is only valid for a certain amount of time, after which it will expire and be replaced with a new one. This is done for security reasons, to prevent unauthorized access to your data.The good news is that you don't need to worry about keeping track of the temporary API keys. When you configure your Weewx installation to post data to balenaCloud, you will be given a permanent API key. This key will never expire, so you can use it to post data to balenaCloud for as long as you need to.

@raenrfm An API key is a unique identifier that allows you to access specific services or data from a web service provider. In the context of WeeWX (weather station software), the API key is used to authenticate your requests when you send weather data to an online weather service.

Of course, I'd be happy to help you post your station data. However, I'll need a bit more information to provide you with specific guidance.

Yes why not please. Above some expert have reply to you, i hope your issue are fixed.

If the API key changes each time you reveal it, there might be an issue with how the service is managing or displaying the key. It’s also possible that the key is tied to a specific session or has a very short validity period.
