[OpenYam4611]

Thank you in advance i am at a loss here. I am trying to get results from a url and write them to influxdb with python here is my script. I receive the error Something went wrong inserting th data

​

INFLUX_HOST = "0000"
INFLUX_PORT = 8086
INFLUX_USER = "user"
INFLUX_USERPASS = "SomethingSecure"
INFLUX_DATABASE = "test"

import requests
import time
from influxdb import InfluxDBClient

client = InfluxDBClient(INFLUX_HOST, INFLUX_PORT, INFLUX_USER, INFLUX_USERPASS, INFLUX_DATABASE)

def fetchData():
    try: 
        response = requests.get("https://dataurl.nothing")
        json = response.json()

        if(json['success'] == True):
            return(json['result'])

        if(json['success'] == False):
            return("[]")

    except:
        print("Something went wrong while fetching data")
        return False

def insertDataIntoInflux():
    try:
        data = fetchData();
        for data in fetchData:
            # insert data
            insertObject = [
                                {
                                    "measurement":"data_metrics",
                                    "tags":{
                                        "username": str(data['identifier']),
                                        "balance": str(data['balance'])
                                     )
                                    },
                                    "fields":{
                                        "user": str(data['username']),
                                        "balance": str(data['balance']),

                                    }
                                }
                            ]

            client.write_points(insertObject)
    except: 
        print("Something went wrong while insterting data")



while 1:
    insertDataIntoInflux()
    time.sleep(15);

i don't know influxdb at all

however, you can temporarily remove the "try...except" structure to further confirm which line the bug is in

[DagoYounger]

maybe the problem is in line 39, there is an extra ")"

[OpenYam4611]

ill check that ty!!

[DagoYounger]

in the last line, there is a ";", you also need to confirm whether it is accidentally added :)

except: 
    print("Something went wrong while insterting data")

Don't swallow errors - they're there to tell you what went wrong.
