Geocoding request failed: ${res.status}

Error message

Geocoding request failed: ${res.status}

What it means

Thrown by geocodeCity when the Open-Meteo geocoding API responds with a non-ok HTTP status (res.ok is false). The URL is built from the user-supplied city via encodeURIComponent. The status code is embedded in the message for diagnostics.

Solutions

1. Retry after a short delay — 5xx and 429 are typically transient.
2. Sanitize/trim the city input before encoding.
3. Check Open-Meteo status page for incidents.
4. If behind a proxy, verify it permits geocoding-api.open-meteo.com.

function isLikelyValidCity(city: string): boolean {
  return typeof city === 'string' && city.trim().length > 0 && city.trim().length <= 100
}

async function geocodeWithRetry(city: string, attempts = 2) {
  for (let i = 0; i < attempts; i++) {
    try { return await geocodeCity(city) }
    catch (e) {
      if (i === attempts - 1) throw e
      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 800))
    }
  }
  throw new Error('unreachable')
}

When it happens

Trigger: Open-Meteo geocoding endpoint returned 4xx/5xx — malformed city parameter after encoding, rate limited (429), service down (5xx), or network proxy returned an error status.

Common situations: Transient Open-Meteo outage; aggressive polling hit rate limits; very long/special-character city string; corporate proxy returning 403/502.
