I would like to use this module, but I can't get an API key from wunderground. On there website it says: End of service for the weather underground API. Please help?

Did you find any solution?

Yeah, have the same problem. Currently looking for alternate solution.

Seems that IBM replaced it with the general weather channel API. Downside is that there is no longer a free plan for intermittent long-term use. I also bet the API is different and would require a new interface.

Anyways, here's the new IBM page: https://console.bluemix.net/catalog/services/weather-company-data

And it just stopped working here today. I wasn't aware yet. I am now. I just checked. The only plan available for free is a free plan with 10.000 (lifetime!) API calls max. On a technically different interface ;(

Working on a solution with weatherbits API. Will post today (Friday 15 March 2019).

DarkSky has an API as well, 1000 free / day. https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-DarkSkyForecast

Ah! Missed that one. I kind of "hacked" the use of the weatherbits API into this module. And it work. Weatherbits has no free warnings though, so maybe DarkSky is better. But for a quick solution: https://github.com/martinkooij/MMM-MyWeather is working now with almost the same parameterset. (differences explained in the README.md documentation).
