502 errors

[dswah]

thank you very much for your wrapper.
i've built production tools that use it multiple times daily.

ive noticed that im receiving multiple 502 errors for multiple lat-longs, and various times of the day.

502 Server Error: Bad Gateway for url: https://api.darksky.net/forecast/{token}/37.2972061,-121.9574981,2018-01-20T20:35:13+00:00?units=auto

have you seen these errors before?
do you know what could be causing them?

thanks,
dani

I believe these are purely server errors on Dark Sky's side. I handle this with a try/except block like the following:

try:
  return forecastio.manual('https://api.darksky.net/forecast/{token}/37.2972061,-121.9574981')
except (requests.exceptions.HTTPError, requests.exceptions.ConnectionError) as err:
  print(err)
  return None

Note: I wrote this code a while ago, so these exceptions may not be a complete list of raisable network exceptions.

Also, it looks like Dark Sky was having degraded performance recently: http://status.darksky.net/2018/01/18/degraded-service.html

I'm closing this as it no longer seems to be a problem.
