Stopped working a few weeks ago and won't accept my API or Resource ID anymore?

I've tried removing the card and adding it again, not sure what else can be done?!

Arron you need to use the API key not the resource id.

Solcast gives free accounts only 10 API calls and if you have 2 sites then each uses an API call.

If you use the solcast card on the givenergy portal then every time you refresh or open the page it uses 1/2 API calls so this can use them up quite quickly. There’s nothing you can do about this, sorry

Alternative is to use Home Assistant and retrieve the solcast updates in a more controlled manner. Or you can check your solar forecast on the solcast website at any time
