Don't call API if no API key is available

[sjjh]

I suggest, that if a user does not alter the env-file-parameters, no call to the API should be made.

My /etc/led_mon/led_mon.env:

#API keys for IP adderss and weather lookup

# Get a free API key from https://iplocate.io
IP_LOCATE_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY

# Get a free API key from https://openweathermap.org/api
OPENWEATHER_API_KEY=c4f05d292e7a496d6831c78a6f89ad05

LOG_LEVEL=debug

I'll take a look at the code when I get a chance. If that is a valid API key in the snippet you provided, I suggest you invalidate it and create a new one.

Have a try. ;) It's not valid. But thanks for taking care!
