GeoNames Forum

So I registered, i got the activation link via email, I clicked on the link and activated account, I can log into the GeoNames site, etc.

But when i call the a WebService it shows

'user does not exist'

Example:

http://api.geonames.org/countryCodeJSON?lat=-33.9&lng=151.1&username=register2020

{
"status": {
"message": "user does not exist.",
"value": 10
}
}

Ok, so buried in the paragraphs there is a little link that says activate the web service.
