No. Simbe Weather Ticker uses Open-Meteo, which is free and keyless. ### Who provides the weather data and can I use it? Open-Meteo, under the CC BY 4.0 data licence. Their free API is limited to 10,000 calls per day and to non-commercial sites, so this plugin suits private, non-profit and hobby sites. Read their Terms of Use at https://open-meteo.com/en/terms and their Privacy Policy at https://open-meteo.com/en/terms#privacy before you rely on the data. ### Why is the ticker empty? The ticker needs at least one town. Add towns under Settings > Simbe Weather Ticker. ### How often is the weather refreshed? Forecasts are cached for 30 minutes by default. Use Clear weather cache on the settings screen to fetch fresh data immediately. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Simbe Weather Ticker” is open source software.
