We started working on a new service integration on May 19th. The promise to our customers is that we will be working hard and not rest until we can offer an adequate alternative integration. We are very sorry, and furious, about this development but our hands are tied. Once you sign up using your email, the API key (APPID) will be sent to you in a confirmation email. As not even the tens of thousand of weather station owners who deliver their data to Wunderground for free will get a key to read their data back the uproar in the community is big.įor our customers this means that unless they already obtained a key from Wunderground they cannot use the ready-made software for the ThingPulse kits. The API key is all you need to call any of our weather APIs. It is unclear for how long existing keys will still be valid. There was no prior announcement and the change became effective immediately. In the evening of May 15th The Weather Company, a subsidiary of IBM, announced that it will no longer provide free weather API keys.


The usage was free for up to 500 requests per day or 10 requests per minute. The standard setup process involves creating a Wunderground API key ( documented in our guides). The open-source software that ThingPulse provides for its devices relies on weather data pulled from Weather Underground.
