OpenWeatherMap returning wrong information

Time:01-22

Hi I'm testing this JS function using OpenWeatherMap API, but when I fetch the request the promise jumps to .then() with pending status, but the API is answering with HTML code.

Here's my code:

function onSearch(city){
    fetch(`api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London&appid=${ApiKey}&units=metric`)
      .then(response => response.json())
      .then(data => {
        console.log(data)
        if(data.main !== undefined){
          const city = {
            min: Math.round(data.main.temp_min),
            max: Math.round(data.main.temp_max),
            id: data.id,
            img: data.weather[0].icon,
            wind: data.wind.speed,
            temp: data.main.temp,
            name: data.name,
            logitude: data.coord.lon,
            latitude: data.coord.lat
          };
        }
      })
      .catch(e => console.log(e))
  }

Here's The API response

And actually this is my index.html code

Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

CodePudding user response:

OpenWeatherMap does not allow cross origin resource sharing. You can circumvent this problem by using a CORS proxy:

fetch(`https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London&appid=${ApiKey}&units=metric`)

CodePudding user response:

Checking in depth my code is was missing the "http://" at the begining of the URL when fetching

CodePudding user response:

Its because your function onSearch finishes executing while you call to api havent received results, so solve this you can wait till the results are returned and then finish executing function just with few tricks

change your function to async as below

async function onSearch(city) {

  await fetch(`api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London&appid=${ApiKey}&units=metric`)
      .then(response => response.json())
      .then(data => {
        console.log(data)
        if(data.main !== undefined){
          const city = {
            min: Math.round(data.main.temp_min),
            max: Math.round(data.main.temp_max),
            id: data.id,
            img: data.weather[0].icon,
            wind: data.wind.speed,
            temp: data.main.temp,
            name: data.name,
            logitude: data.coord.lon,
            latitude: data.coord.lat
          };
        }
      })
      .catch(e => console.log(e))
}

and on the calling function never to use await key word as below

async function Calling(){

 await onSearch('city name');

}
