Your API key (only for users with a license)

This app uses its own API key to call up the weather site. However, it is common to all users of my watch faces. It is a free license, but it has a certain number of rights of use in a minute, in a day and in a month. If this limit is exceeded, then the weather site will return a 429 error (too much use in the same period)

You will then need to use your own key.

To do this you must go to the site https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up and create your own API key.

All of this is free on open weather site

Make this creation, validate the registration and then enter the API key of 32 characters in the API area of my application.
