Could you provide code using <URLSearchParams>? //The querystring API is considered Legacy.

const params = new URLSearchParams({ APPID: api.key, units: units = imperial, zip: zip=${query},us, city: q=${query},us });

const ziprequest =https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?${zip}&${units}&appid=${APPID}

const cityrequest =https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?${city}&${units}&appid=${APPID}

This seems to work

if (!isNaN(zipCode)) {
      parameters.zip = zipCode + ',us';
      url = `https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?zip=${parameters.zip}&units=${parameters.units}&appid=${parameters.APPID}`;
    } else {
      parameters.q = query;
      url = `https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=${parameters.q}&units=${parameters.units}&appid=${parameters.APPID}`;
    }
