API doesn't work. (IP-API)

Question

I wanted the IP-API resolve the IP that I got in the first link, but it does not work.

    #!/usr/bin/python

    import sys
    import requests
    print "Conectando com %s" % sys.argv[1]
    Get_Skype   =   requests.get("http://api.predator.wtf/resolver/?arguments=%s" % sys.argv[1]).text
    print "Entrando em %s" % Get_Skype
    My_API      =   requests.get("http://ip-api.com/json/%s" % Get_Skype).text
    print My_API

Command Line:

    $ python script.py user_skype

The api returns:

    {"message":"invalid query","query":"<ip>","status":"fail"}

What does `print "Entrando em %s" % Get_Skype` print ? – Nir Alfasi Feb 12 '15 at 18:38 — Nir Alfasi, Feb 12 '15 at 18:38

The result of the request "http://api.predator.wtf/resolver/?arguments=user_skype" which is stored in Get_Skype is

Crap, No IP Was Found!

and not a valid IP which causes your api consider it a bad query (which it actually is). So you probably should first check this result being a valid IP address, before passing it to API.

If a valid username is entered, the result of the predator query has a trailing \ufeff character, which is BOM. See here how to deal with it.

It is an example, if you put a valid Skype user will run correctly. – sk1m4x Feb 12 '15 at 18:41
