I tried a few different APIs to replace the dark sky’s one the best I found was using one from open weather though you have to write slightly different code at points compared to what’s in the lesson as the call and the json data that is returned is slightly different to the dark sky’s one

I'm using https://pirateweather.net/. It is advertised as a drop in replacement for Dark Sky.
