Error: No JSON object could be decoded When Searching for Books

[mastomi]

Hi Guys,

I'm having real troubles trying to download books on nzbs2go. It all seems set up correctly but I'm getting the below in the logs:

When searching for the same book on the nzbs2go website I can find it so I know it's there. This is the same error I get searching for ANY book. Any ideas?

are you sure you entered your apikey ... if i use the given link

http://nzbs2go.com:80/api?apikey=##apikey##&maxage=900&o=json&cat=7000&q=Simon+Scarrow+The+Blood+Crows+&t=search

and replace ##apikey## with my apikey

i get a correct output ... you can get your apikey from http://nzbs2go.com/profile they call it site api/RSS key

the reason why you only see ##apikey## is because XDM (or rather the plugin) marked it as censored you can see what XDM really used when starting it with the additional --dev argument if you want to debug this further

Hi,

Thanks very much for your reply.

Yeah I def have my api key in there. When I replace the censored ##apikey## with my actual key in a browser I get this:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. error code="500" description="Request limit reached. Retry in 121 minutes."/

Which, is odd as I can search fine on the site under my account.

I'll see if I can work out how to start with --dev.

[mastomi]

OK, started XDM with the --dev switch and it's definitely passing my api key through. For good measure I created a new account on nzbs2go and tried that and had the same results.

Update:

Seems like it might either be an issue with nzbs2go or I might need a subscription to use the api on nzbs2go as it's working absolutely fine with nzb.ag.

The document tree is shown below. error code="500" description="Request limit reached. Retry in 121 minutes."

yes look like as a free user you are quite limited and the response they give that you reached that limit is not a json but rather a XML

which is in terms of an API not good practice but anyway it should work
