Geocaching.com API

[+trudell]

I can not load PQ's or publish logs using GSAK because I get an error "there was a problem communicating to Groundspeak api" and then I can not connect to GSAK. My map does not show on the cache page either in GSAK. I have gotten a new token from geocaching.com but the error can up again so I do not think it was applied to GSAK. Does anyone know how to fix this api problem so that my GSAK will work again. Thanks Trudell

I just tried it and had no problem. I too had to get a new token but I think there was an extra screen. After entering my ID and PW there as a screen allowing GSAK access to my profile (or something similar, I clicked accept without fully reading it.) From there I went back to DL PQ and had no problems. I'm using Win 10 and GSAK 8.5. I see 8.6 is available.

Looks like GSAK can't access the internet. Any firewall rules that have changed? Anti-virus software?

I got this to work. There was a forum on October 6 that was sent to me so that is what I used. Thanks for all the help. Trudell
