Some overlays do not show up - Paid version

watec

Hi,

After I paid to upgrade the API Key, and printed out the allowedOverlays, these are what I got

allowedOverlays (28) ['wind', 'gust', 'gustAccu', 'rain', 'rainAccu', 'snowAccu', 'snowcover', 'ptype', 'temp', 'dewpoint', 'rh', 'deg0', 'clouds', 'hclouds', 'mclouds', 'lclouds', 'fog', 'cape', 'waves', 'swell1', 'swell2', 'wwaves', 'currents', 'cosc', 'dustsm', 'so2sm', 'pressure', 'satellite']

There is no "thunder", "pm2p5".

Please advise.

thank you

@watec Hello, the API is not updated, we will add those layers with the next update.

watec

@korina thanks.

any ETA for the next update?

Korina

@watec We cannot estimate the update at the moment as we have more projects we are currently working on.

watec

@korina thanks. we will wait then.

Just a suggestion: if those layers are not available yet, maybe they should not be listed in the pricing page https://api.windy.com/map-forecast ?

Korina

@watec Hello, those layers are available within the API, they just do not show up with the request above.

watec

@korina thanks.

Any other way we can use it while waiting for the API update?

Korina

@watec Hello, those layers are accessible. Please read the full API documentation at https://api.windy.com/

@korina thanks for the information.

We were trying to set the overlay to thunder as follows

this.store.set('overlay','thunder')

we got this error, which is not what we expect.

zone.js:1066 Error: Uncaught (in promise): [object Undefined]

If we set the overlay to another value, for example: wind (which is in the allowed overlay), we got what we wanted.

so, anything wrong with the thunder overlay?

thanks

@watec Hello, you actually need to use "rain" layer instead of "thunder".
