Lake this tutorial was awesome - the API table output with parameterized tox inputs is super useful. Great presentation. Can't wait to dig into your GLSL work.

Great tutorial. Quick question. How do you pull up VSC instead of Notepad when you hit edit? Thanks

Scratch that, figured it out

Check if the error occurs on a PC - could be OS related

If you have trouble using urllib, because it's easy on macOS to struggle with that, then switch to the web client data instead of a script in a text dat.

Hi, Lake, quick question. op('request_output').text = json.dumps(weatherData) NameError: name 'op' is not defined and it also cannot define debug function. Awesome tutorial, it helps me more understanding how API works, thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🫀☠🤖

@ValidPlacebo Жыл бұрын

You have a text DAT named requests_ouput?

@AlphaMoonbase Жыл бұрын

Dumb question, but are you running the script inside of TouchDesigner or as its own python-script? op not being defined make it look like you are not running that script in TouchDesigner.

I had the same issue. I had changed the location from DC to New york,NY so I reverted it back to Washington,DC no spaces then I deleted the request_output text DAT and created a new one from scratch and it worked. Not sure why exactly. Maybe it wasn't registering from when I changed the settings earlier on.

The ApiQuery does not work, although I debugged it, it doesn't pull out the URL address with all the other data when I run the code, just: ApiQuery (Debug - DAT:/project1/weather_API fn: line:61). Help, please?

hey there, sorry you are having issues. Im not sure from the context you shared what is going on, but you can find a working component with the code available on my patreon

For some reason when I try and get the text to show up instead of changing to the location it just displays parent().par.location.eval() I've been through the tutorial twice and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

@water__shed 2 ай бұрын

perhaps you are writing text, and not a parameter expression (make sure the second, green little check box is ticked on the left when the parameter is expanded) - see interactiveimmersive.io/touchdesigner-parameters/

Thanks for great tutorial!!! But I have some issues, it seems quite going well while I'm doing with debug ApiQuery. After then following the op('request_output')... many errors followed. It says ~~Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 1253, in request And I thought it could be the problem of python version. I try to downgrade python but error keep coming out it only downgrade by 3.8 I'm not sure if it is the problem of python version, or did I miss some install of lib. (I already check json, url lib...) If you know any solution about this plz let me know😢😢😢😢😢😢
