Invalid appid when using concordance service

Hello,

I was currently trying to query the concordance service, part of the geoplanet web service, but I always got an invalid appid. When I try to use others queries to the geoplanet web service my appid works fine.

Example:

http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/concordance/iso/US-CA;appid=xxx
does not work

http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/placetypes?select=long&appid=xxx

does work.

Am I missing something?

Thanks, Nelson

    Your second example is the correct format for a GeoPlanet request.  The appid query parameter must appear following the "?" in your request.  Only the "start" and "count" matrix parameters are preceded by ";".  The following request will work:

    http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/concordance/iso/US-CA?appid=xxx
