Weather module Dark Sky moving to Apple

[tomlaf]

With Dark Skk moving to Apple and shutting down there API by end of 2021 is there alternative for free API data compatible with Xibo?

Thanks you

I saw that news on TV…bad news indeed! that is the only good FREE weather API for xibo

We are aware of this and are currently looking for alternative providers.

Weather widget end of life?

Thanks for posting this - its a pain eh! I’ve opened an issue for that earlier today here: If anyone has any recommendations for a new data source, we’re all ears. We’re looking at these two at the moment: https://www.weatherbit.io/ https://openweathermap.org/ Thanks!

Thank you

one thing I closed my eyes and turned DEAF EARS TO…WEATHER MODULE…i tried so many options before i found dark sky. and dark sky was much better. the others dont allow you to resize the weather box to best fit eventhough its free…if we should all contribute something small to support a build for xibo-own weather, i think that would be a good move. a basic weather api that allows modifications of looks and icons. else we forget about adding weather the simplest way
