Point Forecast request returns Error 404

Mohaimenul Islam

Hello!

I am attempting to use the point forecast api in a very simple piece of python code. But it returns error 404 everytime. What am I doing wrong? Here's the code, key has been replaced

import requests

def get_wind_data(lat, lon, api_key):
    url = f"https://api.windy.com/api/point-forecast/v2"
    params = {
        "lat": lat,
        "lon": lon,
        "model": "gfs",
        "parameters": ["wind"],
        "levels": ["surface"],
        "key": api_key,
    }

    response = requests.get(url, params=params)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        data = response.json()
        wind_speed = data["wind"]["speed"]
        wind_direction = data["wind"]["direction"]
        return wind_speed, wind_direction
    else:
        print(f"Error: {response.status_code}")
        return None, None


if __name__ == "__main__":
    api_key = "1234"
    lat = 49.123
    lon = 15.008
    wind_speed, wind_direction = get_wind_data(lat, lon, api_key)
    if wind_speed is not None and wind_direction is not None:
        print(f"Wind Speed: {wind_speed} m/s")
        print(f"Wind Direction: {wind_direction} degrees")

@Mohaimenul-Islam Hi, you need to send the POST request according to our documentation, but you call .get in your code
