Wunderfixer stopped working after v4 update

[Praveen Chandrasekaran]

Hi,

My wunderfixer was working till yesterday (I know for sure because I have used it to fill missing data often recently)

After updating to v4, the wunderfixer stopped working. The API key looks fine but I am getting HTTP 401 FORBIDDEN ERROR.

Regards,

Praveen

For some reason, api_key not getting passed from conf to wunderfixer.

2 issues:

1) API key not getting passed. Hacked wunderfixer with local api key instead of passing

2) After 1 I get error  that  JSON object must be str not bytes.

Log? Console output?

Fixed it locally at my end. api_key not getting passed is a mystery yet.

Need to decode the response to utf-8 to get it working properly. Attached modified wunderfixer file (search for v4)

I didnt attached console output because i just ran wunderfixer at shell. I was getting HTTP 401 error. printed api_key from within wunderfixer it was "None". Then edited wunderfixer with the api key locally and that fixed that issue

I think I figured out API key issue. It's not read if in test mode and hence causes error. Attached snippet

Thanks for catching the problem with json.load(). Fixed in commit c05f76b

As you discovered, I think the api_key code is working properly.

Shouldnt it be taking in api_key in test mode too? Is that intentional?

That seems reasonable. Try this version
