API keys
Some services integrated in SEPIA require an API key to run properly (e.g. Weather via forecast.io). Here you will find info about these services, how to get the API keys (usually for free with a generous daily limit) and use them.
Look for the config file "assist.*.properties" (usually "custom" when you are using the SEPIA custom-bundle with it's start scripts) in the "[SEPIA]/sepia-assist-server/Xtensions/" folder. Open it with a text-editor and scroll down to the bottom. There you will find the entries for each supported third-party service. Add your keys and save the changes then restart the SEPIA assist-server.
The new weather service in SEPIA v2.5.0 does not require an API key (at the moment) thanks to the great work of the Norwegian Meteorological Institute BUT some parts of the service require geo-search, e.g. when you say "New York" the geo-coder has to find the corresponding GPS location. This currently still requires a "Google Maps" API key (working on alternatives).
Info: The pre v2.5.0 weather service in SEPIA. It has been bought by Apple will be unavailable for developers soon :-(
