OpenWeatherMap: "One Call API 2.5 to be discontinued soon"

[TurtleWilly]

I got this e-mail recently from OpenWeatherMap that they want to discontinue the API that ansiweather makes use of too: "One Call API 2.5 to be discontinued soon". Super short notice of just ~1 week (Oct 7, 2024 it goes down). They assume everyone has instantly time to fix their tools, I assume. This breaks my own "low temperature alert" script, but I remembered "ansiweather" in my /usr/local/bin, so I was checking out what it does: sadly uses the same "service". 😅

They offer a new v3 API, but they want payment (credit card, I guess?) information up-front. Not very "Open" in my book. Simply another service that gets the ensh*ttification treatment. 😐

How do you plan to workaround this issue with ansiweather? What's the plan forward here, if any?
