Yahoo had posted several times that its free weather api will be discontinued, but that was postponed several times. Now it seems finally gone, though not quite.
It seems like they are obscuring the location of the json file containing weather data, just like YouTube is obscuring the location of their videos.
For example, the url https://www.yahoo.com/news/_tdnews/api/r...[56023011] displays fine in my Chrome browser, but the usual method of getting the data with requests.get(url) produces a 403 error.
Is there a workaround, or should we finally switch to another weather provider?
