I have been using MSN's weather API for a SharePoint webpart for a few years now and today it stopped working. The URL is http://weather.service.msn.com/data.aspx?weadegreetype=F&culture=en-US&wealocations=wc:USSC0006 and now I get this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><weatherdata xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><weather errormessage="Access denied: Please contact weather@microsoft.com if you need access to this API."/></weatherdata>
If I try to email weather@microsoft.com I get an auto-reply that states the email is undeliverable because "Delivery restriction check failed as sender not authenticated".
Is there a way to get access to it or is there an alternative API for public access?
