Odds are it's a WU thing. If you're comfortable manipulating URLs, you can try a GET request directly. Use the URL
https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/all/1day?stationId=KCAPOWAY177&format=json&units=m&apiKey=XXXXX where XXXXX is your API key. Sometimes this will give you additional detail. Interestingly, when I try the above with my own API key, I get a 204 ("No Content") error, not a 403. -tk On Sun, Jun 21, 2020 at 8:58 AM David Barto <ba...@kdbarto.org> wrote: > The key, password, and API all match with the station name. > > When I look at the station under > https://www.wunderground.com/member/devices -> My Devices, it shows > Offline. > > I’m assuming that is because I’m not sending data rather than some other > step in the setup process that I’m not able to discern.
