Report your Weather Station Data to Windy
-
@Swigman A mistake I have twice before is people trying to use a Windy download API. You need a station upload API as per the first message in this post. Make sure you are using the correct one. The station API keys are veeerrry long.

This post is deleted! -
@Swigman Hmm does look like a problem with the API key generation, pretty sure mine doesn't change every time. We need someone from Windy to chip in. One thought (may not be relevant) are you running an ad-block or denying cookies on the page?
-
@Swigman I deleted your post, it is not a good idea to post your keys publicly...
-
@notebooker I got a reply from Windy on twitter a couple of weeks ago. They are working on direct netatmo integration.
-
anybody get the WifiLogger to work on this yet?
-
@marekd LOL. i understand your action but under the circumstances which of the 4 keys i posted and the ten other keys that i did not do you think is the one that is valid and that i should not post?
Honestly, tell me? because perhaps that one works!

@mcrossley Hi Mark, yes i think this is one for Windy to assist with. I did note that i am not the only person with the issue but it hasnt been addressed yet. Actually i do run an addblock on my Vivaldi browser but not on my Chrome or Edge browsers. I also run a Pi-Hole across my whole network but that should intercept blacklisted sites/links that are known advertising sources or phishing/virus sites.

@Swigman Every key is different because it is JWT. But every key is also valid key. If it does not work for you, you perhaps use the key a bad way.

Setup, tested and working nicely via Brian's www.weather-display.com software. Paul

Personal Weather Station Upload Protocol
There are two ways for data upload:
A/ GET ParametersThere is an error in the description: actually, only the "POST" method works for both ways.
Trying to update a single station measurements using a "GET" request - as implied by the paragraph - will lead to "Error 400 - Bad Request" message. -
Bummer. My station f06fd5a3 is not communicating with Windy. I do not see many PWS for my area and I know we have quit a lot compared to a few years ago. Hopefully I figure this out so I can contribute. I'm on WU but half the time their site is down.

hi friend! i want to add 2 weather station,but only generate 1 api key and d i think i need 2 api key ,one for ws. Now only add one of my ws, how can i do to add the second?
thank you -
@Titus1975 you don't need the second API, you just send the data with given
stationid. -
@ICABOS3 we will check it and will contact you directly via email.
-
I'm glad to report that as of this morning the error with the GET protocol has been resolved.
For everyone using a ThingsBoard installation as a controller to manage/organize their data, please be sure to enable the "use simple http factory" option in the REST API node.

Hi there,
Excellent web site.
I'm having trouble getting our Holfuy weather station data appearing. I have gone in and registered the three that are currently operating. However, when I go into see the station in Windy, I get the following message:Station pws-xxxxxxxx does not report any observations for given time period or we were unable to retrieve them
What am I doing wrong, or am I missing a step?
Cheers,
Iain -
@stripeydog Hi, to add a Holfuy station you should contact Holfuy directly. https://community.windy.com/post/22219
Also, bear in mind that the data will appear 30 minutes after receiving the first data.
-
@TomSlavkovsky Many thanks. I'll get onto them. Keep up the great work.

Hi. Yes, I am dumb with the tech stuff but I do enjoy trying to make a difference in this world.
I've had my station with WU for some time but would like to switch to windy. I've already created a station on the weather station site, bit I have no idea on what I should change on my weather station to upload to windy.
The station I have is similar to an accurite station and at the moment uploads automatically via wifi to WU.
Any help with the setup to upload to windy would be appreciated.
The setup option gives me a url address (currently weatherunderground.com, a station ID and a station key).
