Can’t find a location

    I’m trying to display weather data for a location that I can find on the AccuWeather site, but can’t find it in the plugin. All the search terms I used show either no results or similar name locations.

    Some of the search terms I used: brasov, poiana, poiana b(ra).

    The location is: https://www.accuweather.com/ro/ro/poiana-brasov/2275564/weather-forecast/2275564

    I’m out of ideas, can you help me with this situation?

    LE: Also, where do I get the location code? I wanted to use that, but it doesn’t correspond to the IDs I see on AccuWeather.

    Hi,

    yeah, seems a bit weired. As far as I could dig there are different names for web interface and api.

    Can you try: EUR|RO|RO021|RASOVITA|

    as the location code and check if it is the searched location.

    Thank you for reply.

    I tried “EUR|RO|RO021|RASOVITA|” but it’s a different location, far from the one I’m looking for.

    The one I’m looking for is “Poiana Bra?ov” located in “Bra?ov” county. Alternatively it can be written as “Poiana Brasov”.

    So we might give: EUR|RO|RO009|BRASOV|POIANA a try.

    The weather conditions will be not the same but similiar. The webinterface gets realtime data, but the free api only gets time-to-time data. So there might be some minor diferences.

    I appreciate your implication.

    I gave a try to the above code but it’s actually data for Brasov, a city near Poiana Brasov (both in Brasov county). Same data as “EUR|RO|RO009|BRASOV|”.

    Well , that’s all I can find in the API from Accuweather. Seems they do not offer nearer weather-data over this API. In Openweathermap I can’t find the data either. So the best the API gives is the Brasov data. ??

    At the least, we know it isn’t because of the plugin and I have a direction. Thank you!
