Geocoding problems

When I click on Show Adress in the web gui there is no result.

Settings in my config.

entry key='geocoder.enable'>true</entry>
entry key='geocoder.onRequest'>false</entry>
entry key='geocoder.ignorePositions'>true</entry>
entry key='geocoder'>nominatim</entry>
entry key='geocoder.url'>https://eu1.locationiq.com/v1/reverse.php</entry>
entry key='geocoder.key'>MY KEY</entry>

I get this in the log file.

2020-01-05 22:11:32  WARN: Empty address. Error: The provided API key is invalid.

But if use this link I get a result.

https://eu1.locationiq.com/v1/reverse.php?key=MY KEY&&lat=59.129027&lon=12.892395&format=json

What am I doing wrong?

If the key has some special characters, make sure it's encoded correctly in the XML. Otherwise I would recommend to check with provider. Maybe you just have a typo?

The key starts with pk. can that be a problem?

The key must start with pk.
Try to generate another key and paste it in the traccar config file and restart traccar.

Generated a new key but same response.

Did you try to contact locationiq support? Please contact them and they will help you for sure, they helped me for some problems.

None of our LocationIQ keys start with pk. Ours just HEX numbers. Where did you get the key from?

I created access tokens from my dashboard on https://my.locationiq.com/dashboard/ and they all looks like this.
pk.21a625addf044ab3abee????????????

That's weird. We have quite a few accounts and none of them have pk. prefix. Most of them are free plan though, so not sure if it makes any difference.

Strange! I can use the API token I got when I created my account at locationiq.com in this url https://eu1.locationiq.com/v1/reverse.php?key=API TOKEN&&lat=59.129027&lon=12.892395&format=json
But not in the config file for TRACCAR. This API token has not pk. in beginning.

Answer from LocationIQ!

Hi Svanelind,
This seems to be a known issue with Traccar. I suggest you reach out to the team at Traccar regarding this.
Thanks!

try

    <entry key='geocoder.enable'>true</entry>
    <entry key='geocoder.type'>nominatim</entry>
    <entry key='geocoder.url'>https://locationiq.org/v1/reverse.php</entry>
    <entry key='geocoder.key'>your_key</entry>

What is the known issue? The error message says that the key is invalid.

When did you do account they send you token via email, this token start from pk??????
