request.get_gym_details fails with [pokemongo_bot.api_wrapper] [WARNING] Server seems to be busy or offline - try again - 1/15

Hi,

I am sorry if this is not the right way to ask for guidance in sharing my progress with adding some new features to the code, but this is my first time I am actually developing python code or even using github. In short I am trying to implement a feature that whenever a spot in a gym is available, the bot will place a mon inside the gym. So i’ve created some very basic and crude code that should do the job, however it seems I run into an error when I try to retreive the GYM_DETAILS. I’ve upgraded the API to version 0.67.2 so that should be OK without problems.

First of all I would like to share my code. I’ve placed this inside file \pokemongo_bot\cell_workers\spin_fort.py Around line 77, I’ve added the following QUICK and DIRTY code. Note that it is just a proof of concept, so the code is very crude.

`

    lat = fort['latitude']
    lng = fort['longitude']

    details = fort_details(self.bot, fort['id'], lat, lng)
    fort_name = details.get('name', 'Unknown')
    
    #NEW CODE ADDED
    fort_type = details.get('type', '1')
    fort_id = fort['id']
	
    if fort_type != 1:
        """
        This is a gym. Get the gym info
        """
        from pgoapi import PGoApi
        PGoAPI_version = PGoApi.get_api_version()
        PGoAPI_version_str = str(PGoAPI_version)
        PGoAPI_version_str = "0."+ PGoAPI_version_str[0:2] + "." + PGoAPI_version_str[-1]
        
        request = self.bot.api.create_request()
        request.get_gym_details(gym_id=fort_id, player_latitude=lat, player_longitude=lng, gym_latitude=lat, gym_longitude=lng, client_version=PGoAPI_version_str)
        try:
            response_gym_dict = request.call()
            GYMDETAILS = response_gym_dict['responses']['GET_GYM_DETAILS']
        except Exception:
            pass
    #NEW CODE END

`

When I execute this code, it starts calling GET_GYM_DETAILS from the API, but it seems that it runs into an error. On the screen I see the following:

[pokemongo_bot.api_wrapper] [WARNING] Server seems to be busy or offline - try again - 1/15

I added some debug details to find out what is going on in the wrapper and see the variables contents. This is what they are:

api_req_method_list=[(134, {‘player_latitude’: 52.090977, ‘gym_latitude’: 52.090977, ‘player_longitude’: 5.09591, ‘gym_id’: u’14ea1a37c420456d8224a6f700477454.16’, ‘gym_longitude’: 5.09591, ‘client_version’: u’0.67.2’})] result=None request_callers=[‘GET_GYM_DETAILS’]

As a test I also tried to call some other methods like

request.fort_details(fort_id=fort_id, latitude=lat, longitude=lng)

and they just work fine. So I have no clue on how to fix this error in getting the gym details. Any ideas / suggestions?

p.s., pushing your changes with a pull request, to speed up pgoapi https://github.com/pogodevorg/pgoapi/pull/210

I think that would be ok.
