AutoIP not found? | The WeatherAPI Community Customer Community

When I try to use the autoip service, I get an error saying no cities matched my search query. Am I missing something?

More detail. Here's my python code, only slightly modified from the example:

import urllib2
import json
from pprint import pprint

f = urllib2.urlopen('http://api.wunderground.com/api/MYKEY...)
json_string = f.read()
parsed_json = json.loads(json_string)
pprint(parsed_json)
f.close()

Inserting my actual API key and running it yields:

{u'response': {u'error': {u'description': u'No cities match your search query',
u'type': u'querynotfound'},
u'features': {u'astronomy': 1, u'conditions': 1},
u'termsofService': u'http://www.wunderground.com/weather/a...,
u'version': u'0.1'}}

I get the same error if I use ?geo_ip to inquire after a specific IP.

Bah, I missed the /IA/ in the example URL. Took that out and of course it worked. My bad! Feel free to delete this. :)

I seem to be experiencing the same thing.

Using this url: "http://api.wunderground.com/api/API_K..."

I get "No cities match your search query". Any idea why?

Also, this link: http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/f...

Leads to this error message:

"There has been an error!
City Not Found

We're sorry, but the page you have requested was not found.

The search for "autoip" did not return results."

Some progress. Or clues, at least.

Visiting http://api.wunderground.com/api/API_K...
from my desktop computer gets me the "no match" error, but when checking it from my phone I at least get a response, even though it's geographically way off. (I'd expect "Stockholm, Sweden", but got "Hamra", which makes no sense to me).

By the way: when visiting www.wunderground.com the service successfully pins my location to Stockholm... so I don't get why it's not working for me. I'd guess it uses the same autoIP functionality?

With the timeout issue we're dealing with, there was a period of time during the night the "autoip" search did not work. It was restored this morning though, and "autoip" should be working correctly again.

Hi Ashish,
the URL pattern you're using looks right.

May I also suggest you to query for a particular IP? Have a try for example IP 8.8.8.8 with the pattern /q/autoip.json?geo_ip=8.8.8.8 and analyze if conditions for Mountain View, California are returned.
