Address or Zip Code not found

The most common cause to this problem is not clicking the validation link in the email that Sunlight Labs sent you. It is in the same email that gave you your API Key.

Please make sure you clicked that link. If you are still having a problem, please let me know.

Yes, I did that and it is copied and pasted in the correct place.

Thanks for your help, it look forward to getting it resolved! It’s a really great plugin, I hope that my company can eventually do one for state level data.

Looks like it’s working!!!!! I think it just needed a little time to propagate.

Cheers and Thank you.

Great to hear that the problem is resolved, Nathan!

We have had plans for a while to do a State legislature plugin but as we offer these for free, it keeps getting pushed to the back burner. We’d love to help you with this when you are ready: [email protected]

Hello, I seem to be having an issue with the plugin on https://america2051.com/?page_id=4. I still receive the error “address or zip code not found” The map works, but I am not receiving a list of representatives. I disabled all the plugins, changed the theme to 2014 and added the allow_url_fopen = on to my php.ini file.

What can I do?

Our plugin uses two APIs; one from Google Maps for the location and the other from Sunlight Labs for the actual Congress person information. If the map works then the most likely problem is the connection to Sunlight Labs API. The most common reason for this is not clicking the activation link in the email with which they sent you the API key.

Here is the full troubleshooting list of actions: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/congresslookup/other_notes/

In some rare cases, the following have worked for others…

Make sure your server is running at least php 5.3

If all the above fails, then try the following:

in getData.php

$api_call = "https://congress.api.sunlightfoundation.com/legislators/locate?apikey=".get_option('congress_key')."&latitude=".$_GET['lat']."&longitude=".$_GET['lon'];

and change https to http

Please report back the results of what worked or didn’t work.
