All wind vectors data is null

[Vsevol0d]

Hi. I have a question regarding Point Forecast API request return values -
POST Request is successfull but wind speed vectors are just 'null' for each altitude
"wind_u-surface": [
null,
null,
"wind_u-1000h": [
null,
null,
null,
and so on for other altitudes. Previously it worked fine, but stopped work starting from the last week
What could be the reason of it?

Hi @Vsevol0d, could You please send whole body of POST request (except for the key)? I do get values for wind when I send my request.

@Vsevol0d
Aha, I see the problem. The coordinates are actually in wrong format, they need to use decimal point, not decimal comma.

So ... "lat": "45,6248922", "lon": "14,2649134" ... doesn't work but ... "lat": "45.6248922", "lon": "14.2649134" ... does.

I'm not sure if the API worked with decimal comma before, but it is possible.

@Filip_K Thanks! Format fixing helped
