Weather Script Error - returned code 404. Truncated server response: {"cod":"404","message":"city not found"} (use muteHttpExceptions option to examine full response)

[Patrick Moore]

Hi,

I have the error on the script log: 

11/06/2020 00:23:01

Request failed for http://api.openweathermap.org returned code 404. Truncated server response: {"cod":"404","message":"city not found"} (use muteHttpExceptions option to examine full response) (file Code.gs, line 392)

I don't know how to locate the city it cannot find. Are you able to advise? Will this mean it can't make adjustments to the other cities?

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

You can insert the following code at line 392 to log the city that is not being found by the API. Please see the code changes in bold:

  var url = Utilities.formatString(
      'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?APPID=%s&q=%s',
      encodeURIComponent(OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_API_KEY),
      encodeURIComponent(location));

  try {
    var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
  }
  
  catch(e) {
    Logger.log("City not found: " + location);
  }

  if (response.getResponseCode() != 200) {

Regards,

Thanks for getting back to me. It says syntax error with line: catch(e) { 

See below. Have I copied wrong?

Thanks

Hi, I tried with the 'try' and it seems to have worked. Didn't realise that was part of it.
