Different data between Windy.com map and map forecast API (Swell layer not showing any value, greyed out area)

vasiliassss

Hello Windy Administrator or anyone who can help me.

I've subscribe the Professional Windy Map Forecast API for my project.
My project needed a value of Swell and there's an anomaly whereas in my project the value was null (i supposed) since it's greyed out

But when i look at Windy.com on the same area and hour, it's showing value

What happened? how came the data for Windy.com seems more complete and the "professional" Map Forecast API that i've paid is not.

I hope someone from Windy would answer my question or even notice this thread since it's really hard to find answers to Windy related topic outside of this site.

@vasiliassss Hi, this is not any bug or anomaly. Our API doesn't provide data from ECMWF model, and if you check GFS model in Windy, it has the same behavior, since they have no data for some locations.

@Suty i see that ICON model show the value of greyed out area in GFS model, is it possible to use ICON model instead? or the Professional Map Forecast API only available in GFS?

Suty

@vasiliassss Professional license includes ICON.

@Suty i've change the model by using these line

    store.set('product', 'icon');

and still, the data shown on windy.com using ICON model is complete whilst on my project

it's still greyed out eventho they use the same model

@vasiliassss This still looks like data from GFS model, do you have purchased Professional API license? Free API offers only GFS.

vasiliassss

@Suty yes i've purchased Professional Map Forecast API License, do you mind checking my API key to see what went wrong?

vasiliassss

here's my available model that i print by using

const products = store.getAllowed('product');
console.log(products);

Hi @vasiliassss, my best guess is that the product You want to use is iconWaves.

@Filip_K unfortunatelly it's still the same, im starting to think that there's a problem with my api key since i've tried changing my product but nothing changed, i dont know if im doing it right or wrong...

but i change it with
store.set('product', 'icon');
or
store.set('product', 'iconWaves');
