Logs from Telegraf

2025-08-29T05:40:00Z E! [inputs.openweathermap] Error in plugin: querying "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/group?APPID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&id=0000000&lang=en&units=imperial" failed: https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/group?APPID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&id=0000000&lang=en&units=imperial returned HTTP status 401 Unauthorized

System info

telegraf:1.35.4-alpine, Debian 13, k8s v1.33.3

Docker

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Attempt to create and run the openweathermap input with any valid configuration

Expected behavior

Input is able to hit and retrieve data from OpenWeathermap

Actual behavior

Telegraf returns a 401 error as version 2.5 of the API is no longer being hosted

Additional info

It seems that access to the 2.5 version of the API has been closed since June 2024, but the endpoint was still functional until today: https://openweathermap.org/one-call-transfer

Seems that the input will need to be fixed to utilize the 3.0 version of the API, as described in the linked blog post.
