Replacing the Darksky API with Pirateweather API?

[natebc]

With the imminent shutdown of the DarkSky API there's been some activity with alternatives. Just today on hacker news there was a discussion of a newish service that is API compatible with DarkSky called Pirate Weather

It seems like it would be a good drop in replacement for DarkSky once March 31st rolls around.

It could be, though I think most of us have moved to aeris weather which is available in the latest release version as well as master. I'm happy to look at PRs though if you want to give it a try.

My first impressions are anything but good. The first hurdle is that they have a daily email limit which makes it impossible to register if the limit is exceeded. AerisWeather which is already coded into Belchertown is very solid and reliable with an impressive array of options with a free developers account.On 11 Jan 2023, at 15:38, Nate Childers ***@***.***> wrote: With the imminent shutdown of the DarkSky API there's been some activity with alternatives.

I suspect the registration limit is due to them hitting the front of HN (and probably reddit but I haven't looked over there). If you guys aren't interested because of that and the inclusion of another forecasting service, then I suppose it's not worth the effort.
