Hi, I'm new here.  
I used node-red for my balcony photovoltaic power plant.  
I wanted to send the value of the power input to the house and the output of the photovoltaics to [Thingspeak.com](http://Thingspeak.com). For this operation I wanted to use "Node thingspeak42". When using it, a 301 error is returned.  
I followed the example "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGl1uFAveSI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGl1uFAveSI)"  
If the API Key value is not filled in, the same 301 error is returned.  
Thanks for your help.

Looking at the node's GitHub page shows that it has not been updated in 9 years. And there are unaddressed issues. Probably it does not work any more. You may need to find an alternative solution

Hi.  
I'm really new here.  
I'm looking for an automation solution for my balcony photovoltaic power plant. I have some "Victron" components, so the long-term statistical data is stored there.  
But I wanted to be able to view more detailed data 24/7.  
For this I can use a "Thingspeak" server.  
The result will be something like this:....

Hi.  
I solved the problem of saving data to the "THINGSPEAK" server.  
I am saving 7 averaged values ​​in 60s intervals.
