How do you go about getting the weatherbug API?

You probably want an Weatherbug API key, which you can get from here: [http://developer.weatherbug.com/](http://developer.weatherbug.com/) They typically send you a key via email within 24 hours.

Tried the API they gave and all the tags come back as stale.

Can you PM me the key that you got from WeatherBug? I tried mine, and my tags are able to pull in weather data.

So, apparently there are TWO different ways to get a WeatherBug API key ![:scratch:](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/1X/76d1620bec252bfac07050c889ff5a91dc8a9c25.gif ":scratch:") The link that you want to use to sign up is [here](http://weather.weatherbug.com/desktop-weather/api-register.html). This will send a key in AXXXXXXXXX format, which is what the Weather module requires. The site that you DON’T want is [api-portal.earthnetworks.com](http://api-portal.earthnetworks.com). This site gives you a consumer key and a secret key, which don’t work with the Weather module.
