[CLOSED] Conky Weather TAD script

asqwerth · 2026-05-01 12:55:25

It does appear to work, but access to data only happens roughly every 24 hours.

When I checked the time stamps of the text and image files in the folder for the past 2 days, the various text files got updated (with actual weather data) only at 2am + of each night.

^ I'm sorry, but I don't see what's going on with the other location.

I am currently testing Paris, France and everything is working fine from my location.
If @loutch and @ceeslans confirm that the script doesn't work, I'll close the topic.

Thanks @loutch.

We have a replacement that is better than the original.
I closed the topic.

@loutch

Your TAD script is not updated.

Is this your address:

https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/weather/@6454374

I tried your location in the terminal for weather_raw (saved to HOME):

$ wget -O "$HOME/weather_raw" --ignore-length --force-html --header="Referer: https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/weather/@6454374" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:147.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/147.0" "https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/@6454374"

It works.

The wget command at the beginning of the TAD script (for weather_raw) in your case should be:

wget -O "/mnt/9d01359b-9705-43f9-be12-4d6d7f28b12b/Accuweather/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw" --ignore-length --force-html --header="Referer: https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/weather/@6454374" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:147.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/147.0" "https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/@6454374"

Then your location in the terminal for date_raw (saved to HOME):

$ wget -O "$HOME/date_raw" --ignore-length --force-html --header="Referer: https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/weather/@6454374/ext" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:147.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/147.0" "https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/@6454374/ext"

It works.

The wget command for date_raw (TAD script) in your case should be:

wget -O "/mnt/9d01359b-9705-43f9-be12-4d6d7f28b12b/Accuweather/time_and_date_conky_script/date_raw" --ignore-length --force-html --header="Referer: https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/weather/@6454374/ext" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:147.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/147.0" "https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/@6454374/ext"

The TAD script/conky works if I run them from here.
Please try replacing these two lines in the script.

marens · 2026-05-01 17:58:18

@ceeslans

See my post above for @loutch.
Just use your address.

Thanks.

I really don't know why the wget command works for the TAD website when I run it from here.
Try the same command again in the terminal, just remove 'astronomy' from the header.

marens · 2026-05-01 19:02:28

OK.

Now we know what we need.
Expert in wget commands.

Luckily, there is the MyForecast script and we can wait a long time.

marens · 2026-05-01 22:42:40

@asqwerth

For me everything works even if I replace the line:

referer=$(echo $address | sed 's/timeanddate.com/timeanddate.com\/astronomy/')

With:

referer="https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/"

Try and see what happens when you restart conky.
I really have no idea why the same wget command works for me and not for others.

marens · 2026-05-04 00:04:20

^ Probably the last attempt.

This also works (for me).

Note *
The "referer line" is not needed because I used the full address

For weather_raw:

#referer="https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/"

wget -O "$HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw" --ignore-length --force-html --header="Referer: $address" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:147.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/147.0" "$address"

For date_raw:

wget -O "$HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_raw" --ignore-length --force-html --header="Referer: $address/ext" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:147.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/147.0" "$address/ext"

I still don't know why my requests pass CloudFlare's check, while others get a Error: 403 Forbidden which is usually related to the user agent.

However, I tried again because I don't want to be the only user of the TAD script.
That would be pretty selfish of me.

asqwerth · Yesterday 05:26:17

I'm afraid your latest attempt still doesn't work for me.

It might be that you have some personal setting on your computer system or internet connection that isn't there by default for everyone else.

Like I said, don't worry about it.

MyForecast script works for me.

marens · Yesterday 12:52:40

^ Yes.
The topic is already closed.

In addition to the reasons you mentioned, we know that the TAD website has different settings from country to country.
I've tried a few solutions here that work, I hope they help someone.

The TAD script is working fine now, but my location (NOW section) is updating every 3+ hours (sometimes less often).
Interestingly, the hourly and daily forecast are updated regularly.

That is the reason why I created the MyForecast script.

@marens -
You want this thread officially closed so nobody posts?

@johnraff was contacted and posted a link to the MyForecast script here:

I hope people don't try to install a script that doesn't work properly.
If they do, we'll know they've been warned.

I think preventing people from replying to a topic (ie closing it) is a different idea from strongly advising people not to install a script posted there. Somebody might have a future suggestion to make it work.
