Is there maybe a problem with the country code DE and the german zip code 34134 instead?

Here is the error log:

[00:23:14] [Server thread/INFO]: [RealTimeWeather] Enabling RealTimeWeather v1.1.1
[00:23:14] [Server thread/INFO]: [RealTimeWeather] Starting...
[00:23:14] [Server thread/ERROR]: [RealTimeWeather] Error when getting weather information: API key incorrect
[00:23:14] [Server thread/ERROR]: [RealTimeWeather] Please check that the values set in the config file are correct
[00:23:14] [Server thread/INFO]: [RealTimeWeather] [DEBUG] Configuration error

[00:23:14] [Server thread/INFO]: [RealTimeWeather] [DEBUG] Enabling metrics...
[00:23:14] [Server thread/INFO]: [RealTimeWeather] Started!

And here is my config. I have just replaced tie api key for posting here. On my server the config has a correct api key from openweathermap.org:

SyncTime: false
Timezone: 'America/New_York'
SyncWeather: true
APIKey: 'JUSTREPLACEDFORPOSTINGTHEISSUE'
ZipCode: '34134'
CountryCode: 'DE'
Debug: true

I have replaced all comments, because the markdown of the editor makes the font size really big.

The configuration values seem to work for me. If you recently generated that API key, you might have to wait a bit (usually a couple of hours) before it becomes valid.

If you want to confirm whether it's a problem with the plugin or not, go to this address in any web browser:
https://api.openweathermap.org/geo/1.0/zip?zip=34134,DE&appid=[YOUR_API_KEY]
(replace [YOUR_API_KEY] with your API key)

If your API key is valid, you should get a response like this:
{"zip":"34134","name":"Kassel","lat":51.2878,"lon":9.4705,"country":"DE"}

If it isn't, you'll get a response like this:
{"cod":401, "message": "Invalid API key. Please see https://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info."}

Please let me know if this solution works so I can help you out or close the issue.
