Invalid response from OpenWeatherMap

Hi, I have copied your script (v1.1.0 from releases page) and copied inside my polybar config folder. I have chmod the script and also created the config.toml file in the same folder of the script (which I modified with my openweathermap apikey and city code).

However, when I just launch the script I get this error (and thus no information on my polybar):

➜  ~ .config/polybar/scripts/forecast

Invalid response from OpenWeatherMap
➜  ~

Do you know what I am doing wrong?

You can try with curl first:

curl "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?appid=__YOUR_API_KEY__&id=__YOUR_CITY_CODE__&units=metric&cnt=1" | jq

(replace __YOUR_API_KEY__ and __YOUR_CITY_CODE__ with your data, remove the underscores)

If you do not get a response with the same structure, there's something wrong with either your city code or your API key:

@kamek-pf I get exactly something like you posted though I had to install the package jq on my linux installation (Void Linux 64 bit). Still running your script I get the same Invalid response from OpenWeatherMap error.

I don't know what could be wrong, I just tried pulling the binary straight from the release page and I can't reproduce this issue :(

garret commented

Could it be I miss some packages? Like I did not have this jq.

kamek-pf commented

No, it's statically linked, it should be self sufficient ...
I don't maintain this repo anymore, you should try ntfd instead. If you're only interested in the weather stuff it supports the same functionality as well as notifications and a few other use cases.

Sorry I figured out the issue. In my config.toml I had a wrong character in my city id. I corrected the id and now it works. Sorry, I should have checked more carefully.
