Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) : Timeout was reached

[marclos]

Hello, I am new to using this package and hope to have students using it in the fall. However, I am getting an error at the starting gate and am not sure why.

library(rNOAA) ncdc_locs(locationcategoryid='CITY', sortfield='name', sortorder='desc')

Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) : Timeout was reached

NOTE: I deleted my token.

thanks for the report @marclos sorry for delay was on vacation

looking at it.

what do you mean by

I deleted my token

[sckott]

works for me - reran a bunch of times - it's likely that Timeout error was a problem on NOAA's server end, so was a temporary problem.

also note that the noaa*() functions have paging, so to get all results you need to cycle through results with limit/offset parameters

can you try again, and let me know if working or not

I deleted my token from the code to avoid it being used by others, since the repository is public.

ah, good thinking - let me know if it works for you now

Hi there,

Yes, I still get the error – However! The problem seems to be with Rstudio server – NOT your package. I used a local install of R and had no problem. I used Rstudio on a local install – NO problem.

I am doing this with students, so using Rstudio server is pretty useful, it avoids spending weeks trying to teach students how to use files and folders and Macs and PCs which often are old and don’t work…

I am still getting the error with Rstudio server – is there some trouble shooting I can do to see if NOAA is responding (e.g. ping?). I suspect it’s a problem with letting our server talk to NOAA or NOAA not liking the Rstudio server gateway…not that I have any idea of what this means or how to fix it…

Try the request again with curl verbose output and paste in the output of that, so do > ncdc_locs(locationcategoryid='CITY', sortfield='name', sortorder='desc', config=httr::verbose())

Of course, make sure to replace/remove your API token from the output

[marclos]

Same error… ☹

that should have printed out some messages about the http request, like for example:

paste in that info, removing your token
