I'm having trouble getting an API to work in Alteryx, and I suspect it's a setting in the Download tool. I'm not too experienced with APIs, so I greatly appreciate any help!
I'm trying to use the GeoNames Address Geocoding API. I've gotten it to work correctly in Postman and a browser, but the same URL isn't working in Alteryx.
The URLs are like: http://api.geonames.org/geoCodeAddress?&q=3345+michelson+dr&postalcode=92612&username=USERNAME
Where USERNAME is my username... You can get one here for free or use "demo" (which doesn't always seem to work).
It returns the following from the Download tool:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<geonames/>
The weird thing is that it returns actual data (including the coordinates I'm looking for) if I use the exact same link in Postman or a browser. That makes me think it's something that can be fixed in Alteryx rather than a URL issue.
