Point forecast API - free trial does not work

mowoolli

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.
