Missing Cloud Layers and AOD data in getPointForecastData
-
Hi all, I am developing an astronomy plugin and I am struggling to retrieve specific atmospheric data using the v4 API. My goal is to get cloud layers for transparency and AOD for sky quality, but the payload seems restricted.
When calling getPointForecastData for models 'ecmwf' or 'gfs', parameters like clouds, lclouds, mclouds, or hclouds are missing from the response. Similarly, when calling the 'cams' model, the aod parameter is also absent.
I have tried forcing these parameters via the options object, but Object.keys(result.data) only returns basic surface parameters (temp, wind, rh, pressure, etc.):
Could you clarify the following:
Are cloud layers (vertical distribution) and aerosol data (AOD) supported in the getPointForecastData response for v4?
If so, what are the exact internal keys? I’ve tried several variations without success.
Do these parameters require a specific product or level string in the request to be included in the payload?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@edgTher Hello, as you basically described, we offer only mentioned layers in our API, if the layer is not there, we don't provide it in our API service.
