Aio.send error

[lostcity]

I get the following error message with my python script. I has worked well for a a couple of days but now produces this error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Thermometer.py", line 37, in <module>

I was having the same problem starting a few hours ago. I discovered that if I removed the underscore from my feed name, it started working again. I changed it from basement_temperature to basementtemperature and it now works. Your mileage may vary ....

It appears that this is now strictly enforced!
from the guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-io-basics-feeds

Name - A short descriptive title of your data. Letters, numbers, and spaces are valid characters, and this field is required. The feed name must be unique for your account.

Thanks, I removed the underscore and eureka! now it works. I replaced the underscore with a hyphen. Will see what this produces.

Thanks for the response and tip.

My feeds started failing yesterday with the same error:

Adafruit_IO.errors.RequestError: Adafruit IO request failed: 404 Not Found.

I am using the REST API.
I was using the 'human readable name' in aio.send().
Replacing it with the key (all lowercase, no spaces, hyphens allowed) made it work again.
I guess this is all in preparation for IO going out of Beta next month.

Well it started working but then it pooped out on me. Back to the Drawing Board

Mine is still working. No hyphens...

I think I found my problem. Sometime back I created a new dashboard along with a feed by the same name (doh!). Once I deleted that and made the changes noted above it seems to be working. So far, a solid hour of data.
