Problem xith the {:id} of [GET] /stations/{:id} - [PUT] /stations/{:id} and [DELETE] /stations/{:id} in OpenWeather 3.0 about open-weather-ruby-client HOT 5 CLOSED

Looks like the API response from creating a station contains the ID, so when you POST to create a station the response is

{
  "ID": "583436dd9643a9000196b8d6",
  "updated_at": "2016-11-22T12:15:25.96727176Z",
  "created_at": "2016-11-22T12:15:25.967271732Z",
  "user_id": "557066d0ff7a7e3897531d94",
  "external_id": "SF_TEST001",
  "name": "San Francisco Test Station",
  "latitude": 37.76,
  "longitude": -122.43,
  "altitude": 150,
  "source_type": 5
}

To delete this station you would DELETE /stations/583436dd9643a9000196b8d6.

I see that you're doing it in Python. If you can't make it work, try doing it with this ruby client, and post the code that fails here and we'll try to help.

No, not simple as DELETE /stations/583436dd9643a9000196b8d6...

For exemple :
[GET] /stations/{:id}
This method is used to get information about one station with a standard set of attributes: external and internal identifiers, creation and update timestamps, name, geographical arrangement, height above sea level and station rank.
URL Example : http://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/stations/583436dd9643a9000196b8d6

My Python version 1 :
def openweather_station_get_info (id) :
URL_GETINFO = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/stations/' + id
headers = {'Content-Type' : 'application/json'}
print (URL_GETINFO)
reponse = requests.get(url=URL_GETINFO, headers=headers, timeout=TIMEOUT)
return (reponse.text)
REPONSE -> {"cod":401, "message": "Invalid API key. Please see https://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info."}

My Python version 2 :
def openweather_station_get_info (id) :
URL_GETINFO = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/stations?appid=' + APIKEY_OPEN_WEATHER + "&" + id
headers = {'Content-Type' : 'application/json'}
print (URL_GETINFO)
reponse = requests.get(url=URL_GETINFO, headers=headers, timeout=TIMEOUT)
return (reponse.text)
REPONSE -> [{"id":"658a868b8885c200018ae8f0","created_at":"2023-12-26T07:53:47.091Z","updated_at":"2023-12-26T07:53:47.091Z","external_id":"MI_12100","name":"Meteo Millau Les Aumieres","longitude":3.077801,"latitude":44.100575,"altitude":501,"rank":10},{"id":"658bdad78885c200018ae8f4","created_at":"2023-12-27T08:05:43.354Z","updated_at":"2023-12-27T08:05:43.354Z","external_id":"MILLAU","name":"Meteo MILLAU","longitude":3,"latitude":40,"altitude":500,"rank":10},{"id":"658bdb458885c200018ae8f5","created_at":"2023-12-27T08:07:33.729Z","updated_at":"2023-12-27T08:07:33.729Z","external_id":"MILLAU","name":"Meteo MILLAU","longitude":3,"latitude":40,"altitude":500,"rank":10},{"id":"658bdb578885c200018ae8f6","created_at":"2023-12-27T08:07:51.642Z","updated_at":"2023-12-27T08:07:51.642Z","external_id":"MILLAU","name":"Meteo MILLAU","longitude":3,"latitude":40,"altitude":500,"rank":10}]

List ALL the stations but not the one asked with id...

My question, is always the same : in [GET] /stations/{:id} (or [PUT] /stations/{:id} or[DELETE] /stations/{:id}), how should I put the {:id] parameter ?

Thanks...

By including it in the URL. Here's what I did in curl.

export OPENWEATHER_API_KEY=...

List of stations.

curl -H "Content-type: application/json" "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/stations?appid=$OPENWEATHER_API_KEY"
[]

Create a station.

curl -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/stations?appid=$OPENWEATHER_API_KEY" --data '{"external_id": "SF_TEST001", "name": "San Francisco Test Station","latitude": 37.76,"longitude": -122.43,"altitude": 150}'

{"ID":"658f0ab78885c200018ae902","updated_at":"2023-12-29T18:06:47.443257147Z","created_at":"2023-12-29T18:06:47.44325694Z","user_id":"5ea78db637e5c60007120f2c","external_id":"SF_TEST001","name":"San Francisco Test Station","latitude":37.76,"longitude":-122.43,"altitude":150,"rank":10,"source_type":5}

Get a station by ID.

curl -X GET -H "Content-type: application/json" "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/stations/658f0ab78885c200018ae902?appid=$OPENWEATHER_API_KEY"

{"id":"658f0ab78885c200018ae902","created_at":"2023-12-29T18:06:47.443Z","updated_at":"2023-12-29T18:06:47.443Z","external_id":"SF_TEST001","name":"San Francisco Test Station","longitude":-122.43,"latitude":37.76,"altitude":150,"rank":10}

Delete the station.

curl -X DELETE -H "Content-type: application/json" "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/stations/658f0ab78885c200018ae902?appid=$OPENWEATHER_API_KEY"

Does this help?

### Yes thank you, it's perfect!
I was stuck on this seemingly very simple question for several days! :-((
Thanks to you, I finally understood the structure to use with [GET], [PUT] or [DELETE].
You will admit that the documentation which simply indicates "[GET] /stations/{:id}" is not very explicit! :-(

Last little question, do you know the meaning and usefulness of the parameter field named "{rank}" systematically returned during a [GET] query? I haven't seen any mention of it in their documentation...?

Thank you very much for your valuable help Daniel!

No stress! These things are only simple in hindsight. Glad it worked out.

No idea!
