POST request : Error 500 Internal Server Error

[bsimmo]

This started failing some time back, I mentioned it then but forgot all about it.

Can you check if the POST method for list-devices-near works
For me it is failing still and the code has not changed

This abbreviated Python3 code should raise the 500 Server Error and had previously worked.

from urllib import request, parse

api_url = "https://sensors.connectedhumber.org/api.php?action="
no_of_locations = 3
my_location = ( 53.750, -0.395 )

def get_nearest_sensors(my_location, no_of_locations):
    url = str(api_url) + "list-devices-near&count=" + str(no_of_locations)
    data = parse.urlencode({'latitude': my_location[0], 'longitude': my_location[1]}).encode()
    req = request.Request(url, data=data)
    response = request.urlopen(req)
    return response

the_sensors = get_nearest_sensors(my_location, no_of_locations)

Fixed! Now I just need to deploy it.

The fix should be deployed to the beta version, @bsimmo. Perhaps you could test it and confirm that it's fixed?

The /beta URL is 404 not found for me (in browser and code)

And me - live map is still there

[sbrl]

Ack! It shouldn't have done that. It should be fixed now @BNNorman @bsimmo

[BNNorman]

Beta and live maps work for me

[bsimmo]

Site is working, but the API list-devices-near is not quite working.

If I asked for 3 locations, I would get three before (as intended)
Now I just get the same one (nearest) three times.

Example Python3 code

import json
from urllib import request, parse

api_url = "http://sensors.connectedhumber.org/beta/api.php?action="

no_of_locations = 3
my_location = ( 53.750, -0.395 )

def get_nearest_sensors( my_location, no_of_locations ):
    url = str( api_url ) + "list-devices-near&count=" + str( no_of_locations )
    data = parse.urlencode( {'latitude': my_location[0], 'longitude': my_location[1]} ).encode()
    req = request.Request( url, data=data )
    response = request.urlopen( req )
    return response

# ------- #
nearest_sensors = json.loads( get_nearest_sensors( my_location, no_of_locations ).read().decode('utf-8') )
print( nearest_sensors )
    
for line in nearest_sensors:
    print( line['id'], line['name'], "is", round( line['distance_actual']*0.000621, 1), "miles away" )
print("----------")

Currently returns

[{'id': 36, 'name': 'CHASW-24AD43-1', 'latitude': 53.75642593, 'longitude': -0.36844245, 'distance_calc': 1886.588853560329, 'last_seen': '2020-03-08 21:32:06', 'distance_actual': 1892.19}, {'id': 36, 'name': 'CHASW-24AD43-1', 'latitude': 53.75642593, 'longitude': -0.36844245, 'distance_calc': 1886.588853560329, 'last_seen': '2020-03-08 21:32:06', 'distance_actual': 1892.19}, {'id': 36, 'name': 'CHASW-24AD43-1', 'latitude': 53.75642593, 'longitude': -0.36844245, 'distance_calc': 1886.588853560329, 'last_seen': '2020-03-08 21:32:06', 'distance_actual': 1892.19}]
36 CHASW-24AD43-1 is 1.2 miles away
36 CHASW-24AD43-1 is 1.2 miles away
36 CHASW-24AD43-1 is 1.2 miles away

Also as an aside, I thought
'distance_calc': 1886.588853560329
field was being removed as 'distance_actual' is the correct geodesic distance.
