Hello , I am having trouble with getting displaying some data from an api call.
So , I am using the web block to make a request with this url (https://ipapi.co/json/)
and this should return the ip,country,city, etc. ( I also used the ParseJSON block & getStringValue ). Problem is that I am not getting any response.
Any ideas would be welcome and much appreciated!
Have a wonderful day!
Is the response empty? Show your blocks.
The first return response content from web1 is a Json, correct ?
That worked ?
I understand that you want to take the country returned by the API and get another return using the current country.
First I call web1 to return the IP of the user.
Then ,I take the response (the IP) and I call a web2 to get information (in JSON) from the site I mentioned earlier.
After I get the response from web2 I parse the data as you can see in the screenshot.
Did you test it directly through the browser?
Did you check the response code?

First You don’t have to use two web components for this and why are you using this http://api.ipify.org/. This Return IP Address But you can also get ip address by using this https://ipapi.co/json/ both are same.
Attach aia file

Yes I tested it and if you Google the link :
HTTPS://ipapi.co/{IP}/JSON
You get a list of JSON data.
If possible add aia file

I tested and in app the response code was always 429 indicating that the user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time, don’t know why.
Then I tested the other formats like csv and jsonp , the response code was 200 so I played a little with the code and for me it worked like this using https://ipapi.co/jsonp/

But if you use the URL https://ipapi.co/json/ you already get a Json with the IP and the other data. The lp is taken from the device that makes the request.
You can also do as @dora_paz says. With that url you get a json

When you use it in app the response code is always 429 and you do not get the json. In browser it works ok

I’m sorry, it’s true!
As you say, it works perfectly.

And if I want to locate a specific IP (HTTPS://ipapi.co/{IP}/JSON) and grab the longitude & latitude , will the same logic apply?
This ip between keys will be the IP number. Then normally use the API by sending your ip and it (API) should return the values you want.
