SSL cert expired in tool

[danielrjermyn]

Looks like the SSL cert that links to OSM has expired for this. I'll pay $$$ if someone can regenerate the cert and update the tool. As of now, it looks like the tool is officially unusable

until this is updated.

I experienced the same issue. However, I think it is related to open.mapquestapi.com request for image. Hope this helps. Also, would like to see if this issue can get fixed.

I created an account to state that the mapquest api certificate expired on March 21st. I submitted a ticket with them, using my specific open.\mapquestapi.com that had expired. Hopefully they will update their certificate and this will resolve the issue.

[AlphaIce370]

I received a response from support earlier today. I passed on my certificate error and some screenshots/links to assist them with.

@chadrockey
I heard back from the devs about the certificate issue. I hope this is of assistance to you.

The development team rolled out updates to our full suite of APIs and mapping tools in September 2022. MapQuest is getting ready to help developers build bigger, better, and more global apps. Part of that process was deprecating some of our older and less utilized services to streamline our platform for substantial refinements.

The following services have reached their end of life:
The open geocode, directions, guidance, mapping, elevation, and Nominatim APIs
The Directions API Path from Route and Find LinkID functions
The Static Map v5 "@2x" parameter
The unofficial/beta Geocode API v2
All Traffic API v1 and Directions API v1 will reach the end of their lives and all requests should be updated to v2
Static Map v4
All native mobile SDKs (mapping and navigation)
The MapQuest JavaScript v7, Leaflet plugins v1, and Flash SDKs that were sunset in 2016-2018 will stop displaying map tiles

The Open Geocode v1, Directions v2, and Static Map v5 APIs can be replaced by their licensed counterparts by replacing the [open.mapquestapi.com] (http://open.mapquestapi.com/) base URL with www.mapquestapi.com with little or no code update.

Thanks @AlphaIce370

I'll look into it! My login for mapquest seems to be very broken so I assumed everything was very end of life.

[AlphaIce370]

You bet, keep me posted if I can help out at all. Hopefully it is just an easy swap of the python scripts. Who knows, they were very responsive to me when submitting to support@mapquest.com

[AlphaIce370]

Hey @chadrockey,
Is it as easy as swapping the lidar_map_api.py #329 and some other similar lines for this link www.mapquestapi.com? I'm guessing you'll have to do some back end work within Mapquest for it to handle it (I don't deal with API's much, but I'm decent with some code).

Signed up today,It's weird the course i wanted to work on had this SSL error. Just splined another course on OSM and ran TGC version 0.3.5 and course came right into the tool. But still cannot get the course i wanted to do. So i thought maybe the issue had been fixed. Tried the version 0.3.5 and lidar shows but will not pull course from OSM on any ESPG code that i tried.

[jakehmccoy]

I am getting valid responses from the www.mapquestapi.com endpoint.

[chadrockey]

This ticket is getting confused with an OpenStreetMap expired server configuration and MapQuest (a commercial site similar to Google Maps) having a horrible migration and closing their APIs.

For now, my MapQuest developer account is still very broken.

[jakehmccoy]

@chadrockey I am trying to fix on a local branch by using my own MapQuest API key and changing the open.mapquestapi.com/staticmap/v5 endpoint to www.mapquestapi.com/staticmap/v5. I'm getting valid responses that I can build into images from this new endpoint, but I'm having pip issues installing your version of laspy.

[AlphaIce370]

Do you need to reach out to support about your account Chad? I'm wondering if there was a plan change and you're on something that was grandfathered? Given all the other changes/API stuff that has been deprecated it could be the issue. I just created a new one and didn't have any issues FWIW.

[danielrjermyn]

Pretty sure the communities on the FB groups would happily set up a GoFundMe if that was a barrier to get the issue resolved.

It isn't. I have a PR in that will fix this issue if the MapQuest API key is refreshed.

[duff259]

Would love to do anything to help the process here. @chadrockey I am having the same issue described above. Anybody have a workaround solution?

[Baconjunkie1]

I deleted my post since it was incorrect ... The version I linked too did not work.

[jakehmccoy]

@Baconjunkie1 in the lidar_api file in your fork, the mapquest api call is still to open.mapquestapi.com. Needs to be www.mapquestapi.com, no?

[chadrockey]

@jakehmccoy my account and API keys are invalidated, the code fix may be simple but I need my account reinstated.

[AlphaIce370]

Any luck with your account being reinstated?

[gelsingerj]

@jakehmccoy my account and API keys are invalidated, the code fix may be simple but I need my account reinstated.

Anything we can do to assist @chadrockey

The developers had to edit my account in the database. I should have restored access and will be releasing a fixed version this weekend.

Where can I venmo you some money? I design courses to help with my PTSD and my favorite to do is RCR via Lidar. I really appreciate all that you have done.

[gelsingerj]

I posted a reply on the site, but if you have a Venmo account I would like to send you a little something to say thanks. Your tool brings me a lot of joy. I am a disabled veteran and use the course designer as a source of therapy. Using LiDAR to do RCR courses are my favorite part. I bought a PC just to do that. So thanks again.

@chadrockey is there going to be a new version we have to download or is the old one going to start working? I am excited to get back to building more courses for the community. Standing By... thanks.

Hope, Chad is still active and committed to the project. If you want you can use my build with Mapquest URL fix
https://github.com/falk-herrmann/TGC-Designer-Tools. No further changes.

[odcheck]

@falk-herrmann It works like charm. Thank you very much.

[weldonetig]

@falk-herrmann, I downloaded the updated tool and I tried every EPSG in Colorado. It shows correct area but still does not pull in OSM features only a gray picture. Lidar is fine but no golf course features. And also a special thanks to all that are trying to get this working again.

[chadrockey]

New release for Mapquest issue, OSM certificate also resolved.
