"Unable to fetch geo location: http status 403"

[khalilfazal]

Here is what happens when I first ran wego after adding my API key to .wegorc:

$ wego
2016/03/31 21:10:24 Unable to fetch geo location: http status 403
2016/03/31 21:10:25 Unable to get weather data: http status 403

Here is what happens on subsequent runs (first error line doesn't show):

$ wego
2016/03/31 21:10:43 Unable to get weather data: http status 403

Here is my .wegorc:

Same here.

This is due to the changes from wordweatheronline, wegos only functioning backend at the moment. See #82 for more details, the forecast.io backend should be ready soon. I'll leave this open and write a confirmation here, when the new backend is ready, so if you have the same problem, just reply in this thread, so you get an email notification from github.

Same problem for me.
It sucks that they stopped giving free api keys.

A new backend (forecast.io) is on the way. If you want to help test it, goto #83. Otherwise just wait for a few days, when I will merge it to master.

forecast.io is now the default backend.
