I’m making an application that should identify the user’s location and through an API call (https://openweathermap.org/api), inform the weather conditions of the place. To know the location, use the function getCurrentPosition(). This works well in Firefox, but when I try with Chrome, it gives the following error on the console:
getCurrentPosition() and watchPosition() no longer work on insecure Origins. To use this Feature, you should consider switching your application to a Secure origin, such as HTTPS. See https://goo.gl/rStTGz for more Details
So I try to switch to https, but then the API doesn’t work. How can I resolve this conflict?
you have to launch your application from a site https (with certificate) otherwise Google does not accept the call.

What error appears when you say "API does not work"? Because the URL "https://openweathermap.org/api" is already in HTTPS, I don’t understand why it doesn’t work, more details of the errors please.

You have to purchase an SSL certificate and install it on your server. Required.
