## Weather Forecast Widget 401
[Weather widget](/docs/widgets.md#weather-forecast) is working fine, but you are getting a `401` for the [Weather Forecast widget](/docs/widgets.md#weather-forecast), then this is most likely an OWM API key issue.
A 401 error means your API key is invalid, it is not an issue with Dashy.
The forecasting API requires an upgraded plan. ULPT: You can get a free, premium API key by filling in [this form](https://home.openweathermap.org/students). It's a student plan, but there's no verification to check that you are still a student.
Usually this happens due to an error in your config. If you're unsure, copy and paste the [example](/docs/widgets.md#weather) config, replacing the API key with your own.
Check that `apiKey` is correctly specified, and nested within `options`. Ensure your input city is valid.
To test your API key, try making a request to `https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London&appid=[your-api-key]`
If [Weather widget](/docs/widgets.md#weather-forecast) is working fine, but you are getting a `401` for the [Weather Forecast widget](/docs/widgets.md#weather-forecast), then this is also an OWM API key issue.
Since the forecasting API requires an upgraded plan. ULPT: You can get a free, premium API key by filling in [this form](https://home.openweathermap.org/students). It's a student plan, but there's no verification to check that you are still a student.
A future update will be pushed out, to use a free weather forecasting API.
