API keys for third-party SEPIA services

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.

How to add an API-key to SEPIA

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.
