I use paid version of API4.

Hi @k_shino,
you are right, these overlays do not work. That is because:
- radar is a composit from many sources and we have no rights to give that data to third parties,
- thunder, deg0, cloudtop, cbase, visibility, swell3, snowcover and cape are based on ECMWF data model which we unfortunately cannot give to third parties as well,
- sst and ozone are not provided probably by mistake, we will look at that and will let you know in this thread.
We are really sorry to make you confused by our documentation. We will fix it as soon as possible to prevent this misunderstanding in the future.

Unfortunately for API users, sst and ozone are also based on ECMWF data model.

Hi @marekd,
Thank you for your reply. I got it.
In that case, I think that you should re-write "all 35+ layers" to "24 layers" on introduction page of Windy API v4. -

Hi @marekd,

In that case, I think that you should re-write "all 35+ layers" to "24 layers" on introduction page of Windy API v4.But on https://api4.windy.com/ this is clearly marked there:
"We are not allowed to provide ECMWF data to third parties, and therefore we cannot provide layers based on this data model (thunder, deg0, cloudtop, cbase, visibility, swell3, snowcover, ozone, sst and cape). We also cannot provide you with the radar layer. Everything else is included in the paid version and this Change Windy parameters tutorial will show you how to access all allowed layers (even if they are not displayed in the right menu)."Or which introduction page?
