FYI, all, I am currently hot on the trail to converting the wunderfixer query 
to use the new API instead.  The new API is going to be much easier than the 
old query, because the output is neatly formatted as JSON, and crucially for 
each record they even include the "epoch" i.e. Unix timestamp, which is all we 
care about in that query anyway.
The use of "epoch" means I won't even have to convert the date strings to do 
the matching.  =D
Even the input date parameter is cleaner a la 20190524.  =D

What I am slightly undecided about is how/where to store the API key.
I think for compatibility reasons I'll add a new field in the weewx.conf for 
the API key.
That way existing code based on a password can still use that method, and over 
time newer code can use the API key explicitly instead of a password.

Once I have the new wunderfixer working, for weewx 4.0, I'll work to backport 
the changes to weewx 3.9.1.

Hopefully I don't forget also to update wee_debug to obfuscate the API key, 
before I'm done with all of this.  LOL

Docs on the new API are over here...  This is for people like us who have a 
PWS, as opposed to other people who have to pay for API usage:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eKCnKXI9xnoMGRRzOL1xPCBihNV2rOet08qpE_gArAY/edit
The API Key is generated in the "Member Settings" section of wunderground.com 
("My Profile" > "Member Settings" > "API Keys").


With any luck I'll have this banged out in a few hours.  =D

Regards,
\Leon
