Topic: New API Keys for Wunderground PWS data submitters are available

[WunderTodd (PWS PM)]

These google docs are our public facing documentation.
Makes sense to have it not editable.
Makes sense to have it copy/paste-able.
Make .pdf's of your own, it's fine for your own personal use.
But keep in mind .pdf's of your own won't get updated.
Google docs will.

I noticed same thing. My WU API key looked like this (it shows that is is expired):

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Then I clicked on the check box to Agree to the Terms of Service. Then click Regenerate Key. I now have a new key that does not expire until Mar 2021. And yes the new key that was generated is completely different.

Granted I don't have use for the API key. Maybe this is something new and expiration is not enforced yet.

By the way do not expect a response from WunderTodd. All WU employees left this forum some time ago and they said goodbye. More than likely also the employees at WU that started with the company have departed. It was reported that only one of the original employees remained recently. That doesn't mean only one person works there. It just means that only one of the originals remains as the company was acquired by IBM and it is likely now staffed by IBM employees and outside consultants.

Mine expired Tue, 01 Oct 2019 21:41:09 GMT and still works fine.  They can't even do this right.

It doesn't hurt to generate a new one but the less interaction with their systems the better...
