Time Machine returns Internal Server Error when requesting recent data.

[arfrie22]

Describe the bug

When I request something from the time machine that goes from 2025-08-14T00:00:00-04:00 (1755144000) to 2025-08-15T00:00:00-04:00 (1755230400). Or by using the current epoch time in the request it returns "Internal Server Error"

Expected behavior

These requests should be returning data.

Actual behavior

It returns "Internal Service Error"

API Endpoint

TimeMachine

Location

It happens in multiple locations

When testing the links make sure the timestamp is updated since when the timestamp is old enough it works again.

Troubleshooting steps

• I have searched this repository and Home Assistant Repository to see if the issue has already been reported.
• I have read through the API documentation before opening this issue.
• I have not included my API key anywhere in my issue.
• I have written an informative title.

Any Time Machine requests within the past 48 (I think @alexander0042 changed it to save 48 instead of 24 recently but cannot find it in the changelog) you need to query the API endpoint with the time parameter.

The docs need to be updated for this situation and I will update it over the weekend.

I've updated the docs to clarify that the API endpoint should be used with the time parameter for any data within the previous 48 hours.

I am a bit confused still with the documentation in that case. Do you mean that the forecast endpoint on api.pirateweather.net should be used with a time variable because I thought the time variable was required for any request on timemachine.pirateweather.net.

If it is the former, I am unable to request data with a timestamp that is past 24 hours, which I believe is due to

[cloneofghosts]

Ah I misread the code. The last 24h you use the API endpoint and after that you use the Time Machine.

Then can the issue be reopened, since when I request data from 33 hours ago the timemachine returns Internal Server Error
