Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

This is what I like:

-- Use with: own_window_type = 'normal',
-- Use with: own_window_transparent = false,

-- When ARGB visuals are enabled, use the following to modify the alpha value. Valid
-- range is 0-255, where 0 is 0% opacity, and 255 is 100% opacity.
--own_window_argb_value = 150,

    minimum_width = 200, minimum_height = 0,-- width | height
    maximum_width = 200,

    gap_x = 20,-- left | right
    gap_y = 45,-- up | down

    alignment = 'top_right',
--  End Window Settings

};

With conky 1.9 the following did the trick:

own_window yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,sticky

ghorvath · 2018-06-17 10:14:03

Ah, ok, I figured it out. The following changes are needed:

own_window_type = 'normal'
own_window_class = 'Conky'

The other settings of the original weather script can be used without any changes, and then this does the trick.

TeoBigusGeekus · 2018-06-17 13:32:13

Alright, good to know you've made it ghorvath.

garpu · 2018-06-19 17:50:11

So I've been having some issues with Wunderground being unreliable (not loading weather data every 2-3 updates, so I thought I was over my allotted calls.) I noticed this message here:

To improve our services and enhance our relationship with our users, we will no longer provide free weather API keys as part of our program. If you have been directed to download our Weather Underground free API key by a third party provider, please contact your vendor for resolution.

unklar · 2018-06-19 19:05:29

I have already referred here to this unreliability of the data transmitted (mrpeachy's WUN).
It is the same API key.

The statement you quoted I evaluate that it only affects NEW keys.
I assume, however, that the end has been rung in. monkey

Yeah, I switched to NWS scripts. I do need to hack up something to give me a satellite image, though.

TeoBigusGeekus · 2018-06-19 21:00:53

Try using the following key:

d8585d80376a429e

It should work for all users.

unklar · 2018-06-20 12:51:32

I don't think it has anything to do with that key, Teo. neutral

The big advantage of the Wundergroung API so far was that I could select PWS (personal weather station). This made the weather forecast as nearh from my location possible as it was not the case otherwise

pws:ILICHTEN11 I used for many years. But this station did not offer any wind data and I had to change.
pws:IDEUTSCH6 much with the redesign of the website away and with
pws:ILUGAUER3 I don't get continuously reliable data because the evening changes to Kalovy Vary or Altenburg-Nobitz (EDAC).
Besides, 80 - 100km distance does not make sense.

Now I have
pws:IMLSEN8 discovers. Let's see what it looks like. big_smile

At the end of the day though, since WU aren't issuing new API keys, the script needs to be updated or withdrawn.
Stay tuned guys.

Can I get some testers to check the 2_WUnderground script with the fixed API key?
ie:

#!/bin/bash

#put your hemisphere here: n for north, s for south
hemisphere=n

#put your Weather Underground address API here
address="http://api.wunderground.com/api/d8585d80376a429e/conditions/forecast10day/astronomy/hourly/satellite/q/Greece/kastoria.json"

I can't quite be sure that this key is independent of calls for all users by checking it all by my own.
Any help would be appreciated.

So far so good for me. (Am using a modified conkyrc2.) Want me to keep using it for a few days?

Oh yes please garpu, thank you very much.

Thanks for testing for me unklar.

So far so good for me this morning. I was using a bit last night, and had one glitch, but I think it may have been an issue with our network.

Alright, cheers.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Update for the 2_Wunderground script. WU have apparently stopped providing api keys. The script has been changed to use what appears to be a master api key. Time will tell if it's gonna be valid forever or not. Other than this and the addition of the -o /dev/null switch to the wget command (no unnecessary log files will be created) the script remains unchanged.

Thanks to garpu and unklar for helping me test the script.

Just one question
I use wunderground with my own key, and it still works.
Do you know if WU will deactivate this key or not ?

TeoBigusGeekus · 2018-06-24 14:44:14

I have no idea, just keep using it till you face any trouble.

Ok wait and see...

Sector11 · 2018-06-25 16:46:24

There was a thing a while back with ConkyForcast if too many people used the same "key" the weather service would disable that key.

I have a paid for Wunderground key that still works, but I don't share it.

The thing with the master key I've used to update the WU script is that it is actually used in the normal WU web page.
If you go to any place's weather page, say this for example, and read its source page, you can actually see that it draws the forecast from an api page, using that particular key:

So, this has to be an all purpose, use as much as you want key.
But only time will tell if that's the case.

Also, nice to have you back S11!!!! wink

In the README of @mrpeachy's wun (2014) :
500 Call's per day and 10 Call's per minute, free

The regulations of WUN (for the FREE) are documented on their website from 2013 and do not say any changes.

I greet you warmly and wish you health, Conkystator! big_smile

Hi unklar ... It has been a long time hasn't it. I will be back, just not sure when but I will do what I can to keep conky v 1.9 on my system. Still do not like 1.10

But As Teo pointed out there have been changed.

However mrpeachys v9000 script still runs fine for me (C v1.9)
