Invalid value for overlay, radar

Hi,
we are using the professional licence for windy.com an try to load the "radar" layer:

We get the following error:

No products available for overlay "radar" using your API key. Original products: radar
Invalid value for overlay, radar

The weird thing is, the layer actually works. It displays some data:

Is this a bug?

Hi @alamos_gmbh, yes the info message that this overlay is not available is correct and this is a bug, that needs to be fixed. I already forwarded the issue to colleagues.

@Ondřej-Šutera Thanks for the answer!
Is there a similar layer for thunderstorms in the professional licence or do we need in addition to that the 1000€ ECMF licence to get access to radar layer?

Suty

@alamos_gmbh Unfortunately, radar layer is not in API offered in general. It is because of multiple sources of these data, and not all of them offer their data with this allowance to share data to third parties.

@Ondřej-Šutera Oh this is really unfortunate. We are using the windy api for fire fighters and this layer was the reason, why we purchased the professional licence.
Is there an offical list, which layers we can use and which not?

Suty

@alamos_gmbh Here you can find the list of all offered layers.
