Inconsistent behaviour when searching for non-existent locations

When searching for weather information for non-existent locations, XML parsing errors occur (see this runkit)

How to add module in Typescript (Ionic 2, Angular 2)?

Hello!
Struggling to be able to import it in typescript? It is downloaded in my node-modules folder

Returning empty results

Getting an empty array as a response. Is this because they have finally shut it down for good? I know Microsoft have made an announcement to discontinue weather.service.msn.com services back in April of 2016. But I have been using this module for Jan. 2017. Here is snippet of my code:

app.get('/weather', function(req, res) {
var zipCode = "43606";
var type = "F";

if((zipCode !== null) && (type !== null)){
	weather.find({search: zipCode, degreeType: type}, function(err, result) {
		if(err) console.log(err);
		res.send(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
	});
}

});

Hello, we are using your module into a pimatic module, since few days we can't get anymore data from msn see pimatic/pimatic#414
It seems that Microsoft don't allow any call anymore to the API, a workaround can be find here
