urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error for is_API_online()

[ghost]

Thanks for this great library. However, a couple of things:

For the code

owm = pyowm.OWM('MY_VALID_KEY')
apionline = owm.is_API_online()
print(apionline)

I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pyowm/commons/owmhttpclient.py", line 72, in call_API
    response = urlopen(url, None, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 163, in urlopen
    return opener.open(url, data, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 472, in open
    response = meth(req, response)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 582, in http_response

  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 510, in error
    return self._call_chain(*args)

    result = func(*args)

    raise HTTPError(req.full_url, code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "owtest.py", line 42, in <module>
    apionline = owm.is_API_online()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pyowm/webapi25/owm25.py", line 165, in is_API_online
    API_AVAILABILITY_TIMEOUT)

    raise api_call_error.APICallError(str(e), e)
pyowm.exceptions.api_call_error.APICallError: <exception str() failed>

However, the rest works in that I can retrieve a valid weather forecast, apart from this other issue I just logged https://github.com/csparpa/pyowm/issues/132

Thanks!

Hello @lardconcepts thanks for reporting this!

It's a known issue - I'm going to release the lib in a few days and this is going to be fixed also

Thanks!

Hello I face the issue too, but I have the newest version of the library. Can you please help to deal with it.

@Dnatalyaalex I've just tested it, it's working. Probably the OWM API was unstable/crashed at the moment you've run your code Can you try again pls ?

Maybe you can help me... When I run script on my laptop it works, but when I use rundeck, it doesn't work. I noticed Rundeck uses Python 2.7 though I can run python 3.7 usin terminal. Could an error occur due to the wrong version of Python, and can I somehow indicate in the script which version it should use for this script? I have a lot of jobs on rundeck and I'm afraid that they will fall down after upgrading Pyton to 3.7 version. I installed urlib for python3.

Sorry for the primitive questions, I'm new to Python.

Pls post here the full error trace (the one you see printend in your logs or on-screen), so I can understand what happens

Also pls specify the version of PyOWM that you're currently usign (eg with

pip show pyowm

Have you tried calling any other PyOWM function (eg. retrieve observed or forecast weather) ? Do you get errors? Or is it only with is_API_online function?

Oh God I'm very sorry, I did not notice that this is a question on a specific function. I though just about urllib.error. Sorry that I spent your time

Anyway I post the trace, maybe somebody can help me

Then sorry, but I don't understand what role PyOWM plays into this issue :-S

Your error log only tells me that you get a 500 error from the server, which is then not handled by urllib
