Location being ignored

1. • Brian
   • Topic created 15 years ago

   So I'm running a query against the search api and passing the location, but it seems to be ignoring it and just returning the soonest races. Any ideas? I've tried both zipcode and city, but it keeps returning races that are not even close

   Hi there Brian,

   If you can provide a sample of the API query, then I should be able to help troubleshoot the issue (Feel free to leave off your API Key)...

   <struct Faraday::Request path="search", params={"api_key"=>"***", "v"=>"json", "location"=>"Dallas, Tx", "m"=>"meta:startDate:daterange:today..", "f"=>"activities", "s"=>"date_asc", "num"=>10, "page"=>1, "radius"=>50}, headers={}, body=nil, options={}>

   Brian,

   Try changing the "location" parameter to "l"... then use one of the formats below to specify.

   Let me know if this works.
