Sorry, I'm still in learn mode since I'm still new to anything other than my several years with WU.
I thought I could just register like I did with WU and AWEKAS and then upload data and look at it.
I don't understand this site at all.

I am using my Meteobridge Pro Red to upload to Windy.

It is under the "Weather Nets" tab. If you don't have a Windy key, check this out: https://community.windy.com/topic/8168/report-your-weather-station-data-to-windy

From what I can tell, getting a key requires running a weather site on your own computer 24/7.
I'm not willing to do that on my local computer. However I do have a web page on GoDaddy.com but don't know how to run a weather site there.
Is there a how-to somewhere to guide one through what is required?

The Meteobridge is a computer that runs 24/7. That is all you need to upload 24/7. Getting the key is one time thing that you do with your computer as part of the setup and registration process.

Did you try going to the following address to create your account and generate a key and then set up your first station ID?

I find the windy station thing weird.

I did the input but see no indication of any stations when I navigate there again.

IDK if because it already had my CWOP ID station logged and then somehow it got what it recognizes as a duplicate and named it "wifilogger". That is not what I put down for station name.

But I got a key and Meteobridge reports successful upload.........IDK what is happening for sure.

Finally... I got a very long API key and ID. After I copy and pasted the API Key in the "Weather Nets" tab in meteobridge, I got the green checkmarks that mean everything is correct.

I don't see my station on Windy yet but reading from someone else he waited overnight before Windy finally recognized him.
Phew... that was a process and unlike anything I've done so far.

Thanks for the patience galfert.

Edit: There it is! And note that I've added Windy to my signature!

Are all the Windy API's crazy long? 

I put mine in my meteobridge and get red X's each time

Mine is like 126? Green check but it dropped off line from Windy as far as I can see. I don't know if I ever saw it really.
