api.positionstack ---> Error 520 #2

Closed rdulak closed 2 years ago

Great project !!! Revelation !!! Unfortunately I stopped at the connection with api.positionstack. I get the response "Error 520 Web server is returning an unknown error". Is a Free account enough for the module to work. Even sending a request from the browser I do not get an answer. I ask for osugestions. Thank you.

Seems to be a server side problem. You could contact positionstack and ask if your request is valid.

Is a Free account enough for the module to work.

with free tier should be ok (limit is 25.000 Requests/per day at the time of writing)

Device does request (by default) every 15 mins so 4*24 per day -> this is optimistic estimation, because in case the request fails there will be a retry.

Also I see possible improvement: request during night could be done sparsely (1/hour) and during datetime reduce from 4 to 3 per hour to improve battery life

Is your system working fine at the moment? To my eye, something is on the server side ...

Same for me. Issues seems to lie on https://status.positionstack.com/ server therefore I'm closing this issue.
