Did this stop working for anyone else?

[webdevbrian]

I just keep getting null data back as a response ... anyone else?

[samccone]

hmm great question

it looks like the api is still up

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.phplat=41.83&lon=-71.41&site=okx&unit=0&lg=en&FcstType=json

can you give me a test case that fails?

[webdevbrian]

Yeah it's pretty weird, it just started happening out of nowhere for me -- can verify that the json is viewable through a browser, for whatever reason I can't get it to work through node

[samccone]

mind providing node version and a test case please?

[webdevbrian]

Test case is I have a node project that calls it through geocoding a location, from there I pump in the lat and long coords (verified working) -- no idea why the data is coming back null

null   error:Error: Error Parsing Response as JSON

v0.10.3

[samccone]

can you give me the params that you are passing to the function that is causing it to fail?

[webdevbrian]

 case ".weather":
    if (qualifier===""){
      bot.chat("Try .forecast followed by a US state, city, or zip to look up.");
    }
    else{
      google_geocoding.geocode(qualifier, function(err, location) {

        //console.log('Location: Lat-:'+location.lat+"  Long-:"+location.lng);

        if (location!==null){
          weather.getWeather(location.lat, location.lng, function(err, data){

            console.log(data+"   error:"+err);

            if (data!==null){
              var weekForecast="Forecast for "+data.location.areaDescription+": Current: "+data.currentobservation.Temp+"°F "+data.currentobservation.Weather;
              for (var i=0; i<7; i++){
                var day = data.time.startPeriodName[i].split(' ');
                if (day[1]!='Night'){
                  weekForecast=weekForecast+"; "+data.time.startPeriodName[i]+": ";
                }
                else{
                  weekForecast=weekForecast+", ";
                }
                weekForecast=weekForecast+data.time.tempLabel[i]+": "+data.data.temperature[i]+"°F";
              } 
              weekForecast=weekForecast.replace(/Sunday/g, 'Sun');
              weekForecast=weekForecast.replace(/Monday/g, 'Mon');
              weekForecast=weekForecast.replace(/Tuesday/g, 'Tues');
              weekForecast=weekForecast.replace(/Wednesday/g, 'Wed');
              weekForecast=weekForecast.replace(/Thursday/g, 'Thurs');
              weekForecast=weekForecast.replace(/Friday/g, 'Fri');
              weekForecast=weekForecast.replace(/Saturday/g, 'Sat');
              bot.chat(weekForecast);
            }
            else{
              //can't get the weather at all (it's null)
            }
          });
        }
        else{
          //Can't find weather location
        }
      });
    }

mind logging out what location.lat, location.lng is so I can reproduce

[webdevbrian]

Location: Lat-:43.9657221  Long-:-121.2196397

[webdevbrian]

Anything?
