Question:
I am using the Pycaching “get_cache” function, but every time it runs the code, it raise an error that displays raise Error("Cannot load page: {}".format(url)) from e pycaching.errors.Error: Cannot load page: https://www.geocaching.com/seek/cdpf.aspx
Can someone help explain why this is happening?
import pycaching
geocaching = pycaching.login(username, password)
print(geocaching.get_cache(guid="GCA9932"))
Well unfortunately the docs aren’t very helpful with that error, so I’ll poke around a bit more.
I suspect the real error is something closer to this, though that begs the question of why it didn’t raise that one.
What is that page anyways?
If the page is a 404, then it makes sense that the code would error. I wonder why it doesn’t exist?
Agreed. Do you think there is a new alternative?
Lol. That was me posting an issue in case it was an error on their side 
@Firepup650 I figured out what “Cache Details - Print Friendly” really means.
Sometimes people want to print (like print to a printer) out a geocache’s details. The page must have arguments to actually work, like this page: (GCA9932) The New Secret Creek Cache by danth (geocaching.com)
So, for some reason, the API must not be adding those arguments.
I also figured out that it’s not the GUID we want, as the GUID is a user ID. We want some alternative of a user ID for induvial geocaches.
@Firepup650 I figured it out by myself. (with some help from the manager of Pycaching, Tomáš Bedřich) Instead of inputting a GUID, I need to input a Waypoint. I definitely need your help, as the thinking pushed me in the right direction! TYSM!
