Yahoo weather

I’m using the “binding-weather1 - 1.13.0” to have free access to the Yahoo weather data. Unfortunately, Yahoo has retired the corresponding API yesterday (query.yahooapis.com). Details can be found on the weather related Yahoo developers homepage.

Therefore, I got the following error message:
2019-01-04 12:53:12.402 [ERROR] [org.openhab.io.net.http.HttpUtil ] - Fatal transport error: java.net.UnknownHostException: query.yahooapis.com

Is there another opportunity to have free access to compatible weather data?

Search the forum with key word “weather” and you should find several other options.

Here’s one example.

Same here. I finally looked into why my Yahoo Weather Binding stopped producing results starting last Friday (Jan the 4th) and stumbled across this:

Important EOL Notice: As of Thursday, Jan. 3, 2019, the weather.yahooapis.com and query.yahooapis.com for Yahoo Weather API will be retired. (Source: https://developer.yahoo.com/weather/)

The whole WOEID seems to be gone with it.

@H102 Thanks for the alternative :wink:
