      I have generated a free trial API key for point forecasting, but the example shown in the documentation does not work.

      {
          "lat": 49.809,
          "lon": 16.787,
          "model": "gfs",
          "parameters": ["wind", "dewpoint", "rh", "pressure"],
          "levels": ["surface", "800h", "300h"],
          "key": "i-put-my-key-here"
      }
      

      I receive a 400 error in response, specifically it states that

      Invalid request - "key", "model", "lat", "lon" or "parameters" are missing.
      

      What is the issue? I would like to upgrade to the premium API, but this and the lack of technical support has me worried that it will be a waste of $1000.

        @mowoolli Hello, with test trial, you can only test random coordinates.

          @mowoolli I had this error today using Postman but it's a simple thing to solve. Just add the header Content-Type:application/json to your request. That's all :).

            @korina Hi, so how do I test random coordinates? This is the example code in the documentation. Omitting the coordinates does not work either.
