Weather Module Is Broken

[slamanna212]

Server has all required dependencies and the weather module worked before but now when someone tries to use it, the sever spits this into the console:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/TrollOP/CloudBot/cloudbot/plugin.py", line 376, in _execute_hook out = yield from self.bot.loop.run_in_executor(None, self._execute_hook_threaded, hook, event) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/asyncio/futures.py", line 386, in iter yield self # This tells Task to wait for completion.

I'm going to paste back some of your error to you.

cloudbot.util.web.ServiceError: [HTTP 200] Rate limit exceeded - you must wait at least 1815 seconds before we'll service this request.

[slamanna212]

How do i fix that error?

[Red-M]

Please read.

cloudbot.util.web.ServiceError: [HTTP 200] Rate limit exceeded - you must wait at least 1815 seconds before we'll service this request.

[slamanna212]

But i had just started the bot, and Weather underground lists 0 API hits today, so please read again, how do i fix this

[slamanna212]

No matter when i do it, it comes up with that error

[Red-M]

File "/home/TrollOP/CloudBot/cloudbot/util/web.py", line 149, in shorten raise ServiceError(j['errormessage'], r) cloudbot.util.web.ServiceError: [HTTP 200] Rate limit exceeded - you must wait at least 1815 seconds before we'll service this request.

[Red-M]

You're using the shorten API too much.

[slamanna212]

There have been 0 commands run from the bot, i have it in an empty IRC channel, no one is using it. Except when i test the weather command , which returns that result

[Red-M]

Except when i test the weather command , which returns that result

[slamanna212]

Using the weather command once in a 10 minute period shouldnt trigger that result.If the bot cant handle a single command its completely useless. Unless you are going to be of actual help, plesae stop responding

[Red-M]

Please review the code that the shorten service uses then you may make remarks like that. You are making HTTP requests to an external service NOT provided by cloudbot or any of the contributors. That service may do anything that they like and as such has rate limited you, regardless of how many times you use ONE of the commands others however may be also using the URL shortening service.

There is nothing wrong with the bot itself, however we may need to look at other services to preform this action.

[slamanna212]

Il just find help elsewhere since you seam to be too incompetent to assist further

[edwardslabs]

@slamanna212 @Red-M is correct. The error is caused by the web-shortener the bot is configured to use. The default is is.gd. If you are using is.gd for your default shortener you will need to see if they have ratelimited or otherwise blacklisted your IP or range of IPs.

[edwardslabs]

I helped @slamanna212 switch shorteners to goo.gl for weather.py since is.gd is blocking him.
