API connection down

[Tayschrenn]

Good morning,
Noticed that my windchill and temp haven't updated in a while so checked on BIT - sure enough, it's 'Error connecting to wunderground' - no issues with internet and no changes to firewall etc - it's just not connecting. Tried other API keys (known working ones) and nada.

Anyone else?

Mine is still working at this time.

Oddly, that makes me feel better; what OS/build are you running? I'm on 22621.1105 (Win 11 Pro)

Well I'll be damned. I believe that this may be a case of Schrödinger's BIT - 1:32 was when I connected back to my RDP session... Maybe it only dies when you look directly AT the BIT... - it also started working after disconnecting from the session earlier...
Kinda wish I could enable debug logging.

Edit: Spoke too soon - while it says that it updated, the temps reporting are not what the station in question is reporting - so it's not accurately pulling anything at this point.

More than likely this is an issue on WU's end.
They are not exactly a reliable service.

I think im using some neighbors weather systems. Not sure if he needs to be on WU....for his feed to work? not up to speed on all this. Just glad I was able to post Temps on screen after several unsuccesful or intermittent feed codes from BI T

Mine isn't working either It went down at 07:40. I use my own station at the house and the home station Ipad is current. Tools is saying error connecting to check internet or station ID.

Yeah, It sounds like this may need the developer to update it to either allow us to manually point it at another API, or (as the API is likely WU specific) pick one that hasn't sunset their API integration as it looks like WU has (from what I have found online, it's been planned for a couple of years)

Even when I use KMNCOONR1 it fails, so that's... really really weird. I suppose it's possible too that they've (WU) for some reason blocked my IP.

I just went through and deleted all of the station IDs in my list and readded - one didn't work, one did... At least for now. So my guess is it's just WU being not very friendly with BIT (which is 100% not Mike's fault)

Mine went back online this morning sometime an seems to be updating regularly.

Yeah, WU has gone up and down more in the last 3 years than a red and white plastic bobber at a good bluegill or crappie spot....
