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
}
}

After registering and clicking the link in the activation email, you still need to activate your account for using web services. To do so, go to your "Manage Account" page [ http://www.geonames.org/manageaccount ] make sure your email shows up correctly.

From here, click the "Free Webservice" activation link.
