This one looks promising.  I'll keep it in my back pocket.

- Open Data API for the German meteorological service (Open source!):

I took a look at this one as well, thanks, but it doesn't appear to work for locations outside Germany?  Maybe I missed something?

Hope that helps to offer at least two alternatives... or even implement both and change by click.-AusDemFF (June 24, 2021, 10:12 PM)

Yes, thank you for your research.  It's much appreciated.  At this point, I want to get one data source working.

AusDemFF:
Thanks for your answer. Since both are linked to public services, and not private companies, it seams a better solution, perhaps even more sustainable?

I thought so, too, at first, but I tried coordinates of other countries, and it gave accurate returns. I tried also for Atlanta:
https://api.brightsky.dev/weather?lat=33.65&lon=-84.42&date=2021-06-25
It returns less lines, less data, but picks a station in Altanta (bottom of page, 'source')
But it's also an open source project in development, so... it picks the data which is proposed from the open data of DWD.

Thanks for this soft and your time to get it work again :-D

mhh:
Request to https://brightsky.dev/ works in several ways: you can either enter latitude and logitude or the WHO station ID when requesting data

If you want to request with latitude and longitude data you can do it the way AusDemFF did
https://api.brightsky.dev/weather?lat=33.65&lon=-84.42&date=2021-06-27

If you want to request a wheater station directly you can do it e.g. for New Orleans using
https://api.brightsky.dev/weather?wmo_station_id=72231&date=2021-06-27
In this case you need to know the New Orleans station ID 72231

I have tried several locations around the world and got data for all of them even the source is a German site from the "Deutscher Wetterdienst" (=German Wheather Service), a higher federal authority of the German Federal Ministry of Transport.

On https://github.com/jdemaeyer/brightsky you can find some information about the site and how to access

AusDemFF:
I just tried https://brightsky.dev/ for Morocco, there is no data on the german DWD server. :-(
I think that the world wide data is not quite so complete as everyone using sWeather would like.

On the other hand, the public norwegian weather service does give a result for Morocco:
https://www.yr.no/en/forecast/daily-table/2-2530155/Morocco/Mahajanga%20Province/Taounate%20Province/Taounate
(43°C today, ouff, hot, but also quite normal for this region)

I think perhaps this second one is the best free solution at this moment, without giving away user data and without a personal API key, like OpenWeatherMap.

I'm quite excited to see the next version of sWeather soon. I look so often to the empty icon on my taskbar... missing it so much :-D

I also love this weather app and greatly miss it. Any news on when it will be fixed? Thanks.
