Hi everyone,

I want to access the insert/update service from the commandline using the wget command but the inserted item does not appear in the database.

I suppose I'm doing something wrong.

This is the command that I used:

fred@fred-desktop:~/dev/geograb$ wget http://www.geonames.org/insert?name="Binnenmolen"&featureClass=S&featureCode=MLWND&lat=51.95861111&lng=5.566666667&username=fred_kuijper&password=*

Hi guys,

Just after posting I noticed the 'username' instead of 'name'.

It's working now, thanks for reading this.

This seems to be the right use of wget:

fred@fred-desktop:~/dev/geograb$ wget 'http://www.geonames.org/insert?name=Broekzijder&featureClass=S&featureCode=MLWND&lat=52.285000000000&lng=5.003611111111&username=fred_kuijper&password=*'

Hi,

This time I encounter some problems with the move service.

wget 'http://www.geonames.org/move?geonameId=2757207&lat=52.031944444444&lng=5.555000000000&username=fred_kuijper&password=*'

Returns:

<status message="Please login to edit alternate names. This helps us guarantee the high quality of our database." value="1"/>

Suggestions?

There was a problem with the authorization of this service. It has been fixed.

Best

Marc
