I'm not seeing that link or the place for a key.  The Settings option
opens "GNOME Shell Extension Preferences" and the Weather extension
offers options for selecting units and for what is displayed in the
panel, a place to add locations, plus an option to "debug the
extension" (which doesn't seem to indicate any errors in the logs in
~/.cache/weather-extension*.log).  I don't see a place for the URL.  The
gnome-weather application shows that it's getting its information from
the Norwegian Meteorological Institute at yr.no.  (And the gnome-weather
application has no problem updating.)
