Facing Authorization Issues When Fetching Current Weather Data Using OpenWeather API in NodeJS Express

Question

I am attempting to develop a weather website project using NodeJS Express and Axios, integrating the OpenWeather API to retrieve current weather data. However, I'm encountering authorization issues despite activating the API key.

I have followed the documentation provided by OpenWeather to properly integrate the API into my NodeJS Express application. I have obtained an API key and made sure it is correctly included in the API request URLs. I've tested the API key activation by accessing the API directly through the browser, and it returns invalid data.

I expect to successfully retrieve current weather data using the provided API endpoints. Specifically, I aim to fetch weather information for a given city using the /weather endpoint and for a specific location using the /onecall endpoint.

{"cod":401, "message": "Invalid API key. Please see https://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info."}

{
 "cod": 401,
 "message": "Please note that using One Call 3.0 requires a separate subscription to the One Call by Call plan. Learn more here https://openweathermap.org/price. If you have a valid subscription to the One Call by Call plan, but still receive this error, then please see https://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info."
}

• chankruze: Show the code. Show how you are calling the API and providing the key. Give working example to work with.
• chankruze: I think you need to subscribe to One Call API 3.0. The API is no longer free I guess. openweathermap.org/api
• Khadija Gharatkar: Are you referring to a paid subscription??
• Khadija Gharatkar: how m i supposed to show uh source code sorry I am new to stackoverflow and copy pasting says too long text
• Khadija Gharatkar: try { const { lat, lon } = req.params; const url = ${baseUrl}/weather?lat=${lat}&lon=${lon}&appid=${apiKey}; const response = await axios.get(url); res.json(response.data); } catch (error) { res.status(500).json({ error: error.message }); } }); @chankruze
