Open weather app tutorial problem
Hi Everyone
I am having a problem with the open weather app tutorial. I have followed the tutorial but i get an error when testing the code. I have created my own API key using the link in the tutorial. I didn't know if there may be an issue with having copied the code from the PDF and whether formatting has been lost.
See error below
Wrapped org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to api.openweathermap.org:80 [api.openweathermap.org/178.62.207.82, api.openweathermap.org/178.62.223.38] failed: Connection timed out: connect Cause: Connect to api.openweathermap.org:80 [api.openweathermap.org/178.62.207.82, api.openweathermap.org/178.62.223.38] failed: Connection timed out: connect
And the code i'm using below
var stringLocation=location+" ";
var arrayLocations=stringLocation.split(",");
var lat=arrayLocations[0];
var long=arrayLocations[1];
//Modify the open weather url here if you are using your own API key
var params = {
url: "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?lat="+lat+"&lon="+long+"&units=imperial" +"&type=accurate&mode=xml&APPID=75239107b41bd2c2a72e2e3c7b89b550" /* STRING*/,
timeout: 160 /* NUMBER */
};
// result: XML
var xmlPage = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].LoadXML(params);
var params = {
infoTableName : "InfoTable",
dataShapeName : "OpenWeatherFeed"
};
// CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(infoTableName:STRING("InfoTable"),dataShapeName:STRING:INFOTABLE(OpenWeatherFeed)
var result = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(params);
var from_today_value=xmlPage.forecast.time[0].@from.substring(0,10);
a.logger.warn("from_today_value= "+from_today_value);
for each (var item in xmlPage.forecast.time) {
var row = new Object();
var from_current_value=item.@from.substring(0,10);
row.WindDirection = item.windDirection.@name;
row.WindSpeed=item.windSpeed.@mps;
row.WeatherTemp=parseFloat(item.temperature.@value);
row.WeatherHumidity=parseFloat(item.humidity.@value);
row.From=item.@from;
row.To=item.@to;
row.Title=xmlPage.location.name+" "+xmlPage.location.country;
row.Precipitation=(item.precipitation.@type+" "+item.precipitation.@value)==" "?"NoPrecipitation":item.precipitation.@type;
result.AddRow(row);
}
Thanks Matt
