Today, I was using the OpenWeatherMap API, and when I live tested it, with all the error handlings(if not error, if status = 200), and it gave back a status of 404. I pasted the URL of the WEB API inti my browser, and got a valid response. Here’s my URL: [http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Bangalore&appid=MY\_API\_KEY](http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Bangalore&appid=MY_API_KEY) This is my code: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/a/ca13e7db92acb44b6f4019cd83a7088f9bde6bc3.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/9/79157d47fbc321f9ad423b30b0a5ba1a34daf38a.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/f/8f8826fc9c4a34f1feeca0a5c63e046a0f6a6062.png) This is my valid JSON resposne: {“coord”:{“lon”:77.6033,“lat”:12.9762},“weather”:[{“id”:800,“main”:“Clear”,“description”:“clear sky”,“icon”:“01d”}],“base”:“stations”,“main”:{“temp”:303.23,“feels\_like”:296.71,“temp\_min”:302.04,“temp\_max”:304.15,“pressure”:1016,“humidity”:18},“visibility”:8000,“wind”:{“speed”:7.2,“deg”:70},“clouds”:{“all”:6},“dt”:1614756841,“sys”:{“type”:1,“id”:9205,“country”:“IN”,“sunrise”:1614733476,“sunset”:1614776330},“timezone”:19800,“id”:1277333,“name”:“Bengaluru”,“cod”:200} In the JSON formatter: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/d/ad423bb5a67821036d3a595a1a744a3cef79f856.png) Why am I receiving 404 in my text input? ---

The url ([http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Bangalore&appid=MY\_API\_KEY](http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Bangalore&appid=MY_API_KEY)) works for me. It might be that you left out the **https://** in the “Web\_API OpenmapAPI’s URL” block. Just curious… what is the 3 second wait for. I wouldn’t think it would be needed. ---

According to the open weather map web site ![Screenshot_20210303_130526](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/b/bb69766624c9972e1a1c6fbfcf026d285538761d.jpeg) The city name is not spelled as expected. ---

I’ve tried every single spelling. There are 3: Bangalore Bangalore Bengaluru ---

That’s my debug method… It’s meant so that I have enough time to copy the URL from the input and paste it in my browser so I can check if anything’s wrong. **Edit** @tatiang You were right! I didn’t add the https://. As soon as I did, it worked. I just copied whta they had on their site: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/f/3f188abd3774a30fcf8ca5c1443d47032195d862.png) ---

And now it’s crashing again. This time, I’m using lat and lon from the location sensor: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/4/b44897fb99adf351a46a5796eeee848614492f63.png) I know the block which is making it crash: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/f/7f424817c1b257587dd3414025e9641d18f5e37d.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/f/7f424817c1b257587dd3414025e9641d18f5e37d.png) As soon as I remove that, it doesn’t crash. I’m not getting any error values or status- it’s just crashing. What’s wrong? ---

It seems that there is a problem in the system See this comment > [@\[Solved\] How do I parse JSON Object](https://community.thunkable.com/t/problem-parsing-json-object/1140945/7): > > I think there is a general problem with the get object from JSON block. I got this reply from thunkable support earlier today: Hi Claus, thanks for reporting this. It seems that the ‘get property of object’ block works fine when working directly with an object, so there may be an issue with the ‘get object from JSON’ block. I’ll ask the team to take a look. ---

Surprisingly, it was working fine just yesterday… I hope this gets fixed soon ---

Hi there, As mentioned in this thread, there was an issue with the ‘get object from JSON’ block. I would like to confirm that the issue was resolved within a few hours, so your API blocks should behave as expected again. ---
