location_details returns nothing in api request for active projects in freelancer

[smodares64]

hello everyone:

my problem is that while i put 'location_datails':True in my params when I search for active projects using

https://www.freelancer.com/api/projects/0.1/projects/active/ \

i dont get the location of the project.

params = [
"limit", 3,
"full_description", True,
"location_details", True,
"compact", True,
]

the result is: 'country':{} 'timezone':{}

would you please help me solve this problem?

Can you guide me on this, like how are you web-scraping to get the location? I tried getting the user_id or owner_id of the project to fetch the location but this also doesn't work

owner_id is null. this is my code:

def _get_county_flag(self, url):
# Set headers to mimic a real browser
headers = {
"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36",
}

    try:
        # Make the request
        response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
        response.raise_for_status()  # Check for HTTP errors

        # Initialize default values
        location_text = ""
        flag_url = ""

        # Parse the HTML
        soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, "html.parser")

        # Find the element with the specified class
        location_element = soup.find("p", class_="text-xsmall desktop:text-small")

        if location_element:
            location_text = location_element.get_text(strip=True)
            print(f"Location found: {location_text}")

            flag_img = soup.find(
                "img",
                {
                    "role": "presentation",
                    "class": "FlagImage",
                },
            )

            if flag_img:
                flag_url = flag_img.get("src")

        return location_text, flag_url

    except requests.RequestException as e:
        # Handle any request errors gracefully
        print(f"Error fetching country flag from {url}: {e}")
        return "", ""
    except Exception as e:
        # Handle any other errors
        print(f"Error parsing HTML from {url}: {e}")
        return "", ""
