Thanks Jason. I was able to figure out the error; I needed to load the private_key as a file -NOT- embed the key in my code. The original Python script that you wrote was extremely helpful for my project as I move on from DarkSky to WeatherKit. I now need to polish my Python script a little but at least I have it working. Thanks again!
