      I'm told this is the place to get help posting my weather data from Weewx, but I don't seem to be getting any. I have noticed that whenever I click to reveal the API key in my account it is always different. I don't understand how I can put in the proper API key in my weewx.conf rest config if the api is always changing? Is something broken here?

        @raenrfm Hello, did you actually try to put the generated API key into the weewx software? Yes, the key changes if you keep generating new ones.

          @Korina It's pretty unclear that clicking on the API key generates a new key and I've generated new keys and placed that key into my config and nothing happens. It would be good to know if anything is arriving at your end, can you check and see if there is some issue with the data I'm sending? Station ID:f07eb6d9

                  @raenrfm Nothing arrives on our end. Did you follow this manual? https://community.windy.com/topic/8472/weewx-how-to-send-data-to-windy?_=1677744729005

                    @Korina Yes of course...I've had this running on my system for years the only thing that has changed is on your end.

                      @raenrfm Then you will likely need to try a different software compatible with your station.

                        @Korina Are you saying weewx is no longer supported?

                          @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.

                                  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.

                                            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.
