POIS service error message

openpoiservice
1

Hi!

I´m trying to use the example from API Playground and all I get is error_message:500

What am I doing wrong?

---- Extract ----

<?php $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.openrouteservice.org//pois?api_key=...); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, ' { "request":"POIS", "sortby":"distance", "geometry":{ "geojson":{ "type":"Point", "coordinates":[8.807099091203672, 53.07528723347236] }, "bbox":[[8.807054, 53.075024], [8.807533, 53.075363]], "buffer":50 } }' ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Accept: application/json; charset=utf-8")); $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); ?>

First, please provide a request we can verify… I.e. in curl form.

But request=POIS --> request=pois should already solve it…

nils,

The lines after “---- Extract —” are exactly the same as the example code for PHP at
https://openrouteservice.org/dev/#/api-docs/pois/post

When I press “Call Action” it works fine, but when I use this code at my script it returns the error message.

@uerlings as Nils mentioned, please send us the request as cURL and we will inspect. Cheers, Tim

curl --include \
     --request POST \
     --data '{"request":"pois","geometry":{"bbox":[[8.8034,53.0756],[8.7834,53.0456]],"geojson":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.8034,53.0756]},"buffer":250}}' \
     --header "Accept: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
  'https://api.openrouteservice.org/pois?api_key=....'

@uerlings There seems to be some misbehaviour in the generation of the POST body in the documentation, we will look into it. Please try this for now:

  curl -X POST \
  'https://api.openrouteservice.org/pois?api_key=XYZ' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "request": "pois",
    "geometry": {
        "bbox": [[8.8034,53.0756],[8.7834,53.0456]],
        "geojson":{
          "type":"Point",
          "coordinates":[8.8034,53.0756]
        },
        "buffer":250
    },
    "limit": 20
  }'

After investigating, the difference is the header, please for now use

-H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Thank you, Tim

Thanks Tim and nils!

It worked with cURL.
I´ve managed to adjust for PHP curl
$postfields = array(
“request”=>“pois”,
“geometry”=>[
“bbox”=>[[8.8034,53.0756],[8.7834,53.0456]],
“geojson”=>[
“type”=>“Point”,
“coordinates”=>[8.8034,53.0756]
],
“buffer”=>250
]
);

$extra = json_encode($postfields);
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.openrouteservice.org/pois?api_key=5b3ce3597851110001cf624822e32ca1fb68454ca6525722efb2b6f7");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $extra);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
		'Content-Type: application/json',
		'charset=utf-8'
	)
);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Happy New Year!
