Darksky shut down, how do I put replacement server address and api key into this?

Hello, I am afraid I'm dreadfully incompetent when it comes to looking under the hood of software and modifying things. I can do conf files, that's about it without a detailed walkthrough. Looks like you made some nice code and have the most detailed explanation of setting up an e-ink display with a raspberry pi I could find so I bought the same display as you. I figured out how to connect the ribbon cable to the pi hat, I hope it is facing the right way because it looks as though you could put it on backwards.
Back to your code: I have cloned your code and made an .env file but of course things have come to a standstill because darksky api keys are no longer available and their service is shut down. I don't actually care about twitter or the dictionary thing, literally the only thing I want on my display are the weather and the time.
I found Hypercast and got an api key from them but I know that this won't help, there is some place in your code where I have to put their server url instead of darksky's.
Also, how does one go about setting up mongodb for the paperpi project?

Hi @esprittordu, unfortunately it won't be as simple as calling a different weather API as the returned data will be in a different structure, so some amount of refactoring will be needed. The place to look is this file: https://github.com/lukehaas/paper-pi/blob/master/src/data-sources/Weather.js
This is where the dark-sky data is currently being fetched and consumed.

Regarding mongodb, no special setup is needed for this project, there just needs to be a mongodb instance running.

Oh should have been a question, sorry I'm new to this. bumping around in a dark room with a blindfold on kind of scenario. Thanks, I will open that up and see if I can hack something together. Thank you for putting the code out there and answering silly questions.
