Ecowitt API returning Error

Hi There,

Bashing my head against this one - I'm trying to get my weather station data from their API endpoint. When doing a GET in the browser I get a response as expected, but through SHAC I'm getting 'Try again'. Can anyone see what is going wrong here?

API Endpoint: https://api.ecowitt.net/api/v3/device/real_time

SHAC Code:

Code:

-- Get data from the specified endpoint
function Get()
  local http = require 'ssl.https'
    local json = require('json')
    local ltn12 = require("ltn12")
 
    local result,content,header = http.request {
    url = 'https://api.ecowitt.net/api/v3/device/real_time',
    method = 'GET',
    redirect = true
    }
  log("Result: ".. tostring(result) .. "Content: " .. tostring(content) .."Header: " .. tostring(header))
  return result
end

 

Have you obtained the application_key and all other req info to make the request, looks like your url is incomplete compared to the documentation? https://doc.ecowitt.net/web/#/apiv3cn?page_id=18

Request example: https://api.ecowitt.net/api/v3/devi...KEY&mac=YOUR_MAC_CODE_OF_DEVICE&call_back=all

 

yes, I’ve done that and get the same result. You should still get a JSON response from the unauthenticated API for a point of testing.

 

Your Code works for me, See attached, Maybe ther is some limit on how many requests can be made?

 

Hmm interesting. Appears my SHAC can't access the internet at all - but local network is fine. Thanks - at least that helped narrow down the issue

 

one possible thing to check is the DNS settings, under utilities, system, network etc etc
If that’s not set then that would do it…
