I don't personally have an API key, I just use the API key of the weather stations around me. I did create a wunderground login the other day, so I'll go poke around the website now. I've been using Blue Iris Software and Blue Iris Tools for a long time, I registered here 8 years ago. I've never had any gremlins or anything until just the other day. Still have no clue why it started working again.

That's what's working for me now.

My Tempest weather station is connected to WU and I've never had any issues with it.FWIW, you can count on WU working about as well as molasses flows in Buffalo, NY in January.
Oh, my Ambient Weather WS-2902 has been reporting to it rock-steady for the last year but from '21 to about fall of '23 it was on again off again, sometimes offline for 1 or 2 days then back on for 5 or 6.
And prior that that my Davis Instruments Vantage Vue worked with WU great from 2012 to about 2015 which is when IBM acquired WU, then it was up/down again for a time.
I'm just saying that WU has a history of periodic issues and it's not my equipment or just me. There are many IPCT posts from users that have had issues with WU over the years. So I generallly suggest to people to hold on, it'll come back.....for a time.
If you read the writeup in Wikipedia about them you'll see a stormy (sorry) history of being handed off and sold numerous times which likely contributes to their reliability and consistency of operation.
