Hi everyone. for some reason codepen sometimes get the api and sometimes doesn’t. I don’t know if its a problem with codepen or with Open Weather API.
For now I just wanna see the data I get from the website so I could manipulate it later. How can I overcome this problem?
Try inserting a console.log(json);
in your code, then use codepen’s console.
It’s option three
Your first code block doesn’t show anything because you’re trying to extract properties (Object.keys(json.weather[1])
) of weather[1]
, but weather
array in your case has only one object (weather[1]
doesn’t exist).
Second code block doesn’t show anything because you’re appending the result to an element with a class btn
, but your HTML doesn’t have such element.
What about $("#info").html(JSON.stringify(json)? Why isn’t codepen showing that. I wrote the syntax correctly and the API address is working.
I’m less worried about the second code block because even If I comment that block and the Object.keys(json.weather[1]) It still doesn’t even show the key:value pairs I should get
I hope I’m being really stupid right now, but I’ve inserted the console.log command into the JS section and played with it’s location a little bit, still nothing happens.
Because
This works:
$("#info").html(JSON.stringify(json));
Even that doesn’t work. I changed the code to only contain this
$.getJSON(“http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=51.51&lon=-0.13&appid=1065f9b5ec2b8693d74325f06462a824”, function(json) {
$("#info").html(JSON.stringify(json))
});
and it’s not working.
I checked if it’s a browser problem(even though I was sure it’s unrelated) and it’s not the case.
I just checked your codepen and the code works.
What exactly is not working for you?
And here it happens again…
I only see the word button instead of the array with the keys values in it. But sometimes it does show the array even though I didn’t change the code. That’s why I wondered if it has something to do with codepen or open weather API.
For some reason now it’s working, but is believe in a few days it will go back to not working. I will print screen when that happens.
It’s an http/https thing.
OpenWeatherMap does not have an https (secure) protocol, and some browsers (at least Chrome) will not load data from an insecure site when you are on a secure connection. Codepen works either way, and I’m not altogether sure how it picks which to use. So you get what seems like a random error half the time.
Whenever it doesn’t work, just reload on http.
Indeed that seems to be the problem. For now I’ll work with http but how can I fix it to also work with https?
Pay $180/month for a developer account?
Or just be careful to only share the http:// link
Wow… For real? that sux
