For anyone procrastinating on finding another weather data source before the Dark Sky shutdown next week, I put together a drop-in compatible/ free/ documented API called Pirate Weather.
This has been hella annoying for me. For literally SEVEN YEARS I've had a Pi 3B with the 7" display on my desk flawlessly showing me the weather via the old-school PiWeatherRock app/code. Then came IBM shutting down the first weather data site so had to pull down updated code and get a Dark Sky API key. Now Dark Sky API is going away but the original coder has changed his code so that just installing it on my old Pi requires me to install puppet-bolt on my WINDOWS PC. WTF? Tried it anyway and of course it failed because the dev is somehow addicted to using puppet instead of ansible and poorly documents and never updates the install process. So found the old code and tried to get it running again so I could "convert" the code to the new pirateweather/merrysky API but now the old code won't run on the newer version of Raspbian I just installed. Eventually I said "fsck it all" and went with this kluge instead. I don't like it but I figure when Dark Sky's API finally goes "dark" it's going to force some of these Raspberry Pi Weather Display developers to finally update their code and then I'll go shopping for a better solution. At least the kluge I'm using also allows for the code to run in a Docker container so folks without an RPi can use it on just about anything.

> Before going any farther, I wanted to add a link to sign up and support this project! Running this on AWS means that it scales beautifully and is much more reliable than if I was trying to host this, but also costs real money.

That looks like a pretty complex architecture. I wonder if instead of financial support, what the author really needs is help figuring out a more cost-effective solution.

All the processing scripts are in the GitHub repository. Since releasing it last year, the API has come a long way, squashing a ton of bugs and improving stability. The community feedback has been invaluable, and I’ll be continuing to make improvements to it over time, with better text summaries coming next!
