Hello Maurizio,
?
I have been using 0.3.9 since it was released. I previously had the weather feature set up and working. I had not tried it since the release of 0.3.9. It no longer works, so I am guessing that either:
1) the way that openweather.org sends the data has changed so that the data parse function does not result in a usable text, or
2 )that something else (a Java/JSON translator .dll???) needs to be installed and loaded by the system.
I hope my inquiry makes sense.
My test below suggests that my second guess might be correct, because Glen, KG5CEN and Ricardo, CT1EBQ can successfully send a weather string. They may be using Linux or Raspberry Pi OS. Daryl and I are using Windows 10.
?
Any additional hints or thoughts about this?

My city string is (Hampstead,md,us) and I have a valid API Key. I have used several permutations of the location string in D-Rats v0.3.9 and they all result in no output. My text QST¡¯s are sent correctly.
?
When I use a browser to send the API url, location, and my key from the URL box like this:
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Hampstead,md,us&appid=<insert your own API key here>
I get the following Raw Data:
{"coord":{"lon":-76.85,"lat":39.6048},"weather":[{"id":802,"main":"Clouds","description":"scattered clouds","icon":"03d"}],"base":"stations","main":{"temp":292.27,"feels_like":291.78,"temp_min":289.85,"temp_max":295.09,"pressure":1005,"humidity":59},"visibility":10000,"wind":{"speed":3.58,"deg":311,"gust":8.94},"clouds":{"all":40},"dt":1633022817,"sys":{"type":2,"id":2032439,"country":"US","sunrise":1632999762,"sunset":1633042304},"timezone":-14400,"id":4357279,"name":"Hampstead","cod":200}
With temperature given in Kelvin, other units are metric.
The Firefox JSON translator correctly tells me that it says:

Maurizio,
?The maps data is working fine now...but I can't get the OpenWeather data to work. Under File -> Preferences -> Chat, for the OpenWeather uri, it has
? In the box for OpenWeather appid, do I need to add the ?apikey= statement, or just the code/id (with numbers and letters)??
? Then, for the location, what values can I use there?? I looked at the OpenWeatherMap website, and it mentioned I could use a zip code (native to the United States), or possibly a latitude/longitude (I don't recall the message now). Previously, I thought I had the ID for my city (LITTLE ROCK,AR,US) -- but now, it won't show up in the QST or the chat window when I click on it. I originally had it going out at 15 minutes past the hour, once the new weather observation was in...as I figured once an hour was plenty.
? On another note, I was using the GPS-A deal to send out my location, as it's for my QTH, a static location. Is that the right parameter under the QST's to send that out?? The only way I see it on is if I search for my callsign. If I just type in my city "Little Rock, AR", my data doesn't show up.
