Text files (list of X, Y) no longer supported? #6

Closed kevinalle closed 11 years ago

kevinalle commented 11 years ago

Hi, I've been using the API with lists of X, Y positions. It worked some days ago and recently stopped working. I also tried uploading via the webpage a text file with 2 columns of digits separated by whitespace, listing the X,Y positions of sources (as described in http://nova.astrometry.net/upload), and fails with:

File "process_submissions.py", line 488, in get_or_create_image
    raise Exception('This file\'s type is not supported.')
Exception: This file's type is not supported.

How can I use the API with text files? Thanks!!

I put in some fixes for handling xylists via the web interface. Haven't checked the API yet. Could you please test out http://staging.astrometry.net ? Thanks!

Indeed, the API now works with xylists in staging. Do you think I can switch to nova soon? Thanks Dustin!!

I just updated nova.
