REST API /better_forecast Current Condition No content in some Fields

Developers
1

I am not getting content anymore for the following fields (This is the REST API, my tempest APP still shows the data)

‘air_density’

‘delta_t’

‘wet_bulb_temperature’

‘dew_point’

Is this a change in the API or a production problem ?

are you using the generic API key or your personal key ? I think the generic will slowly stop working as we have no personal keys. Yo can get yours in the settings via data authorizations

I use my personal Key. Here is the response I receive :

This is what I should be getting according to the Documentation

think this needs a reply from someone knowing what happens under the hood (tomorrow I guess as it is easter week end :rabbit2: )
@jforare_324 : you ?

Are you using this https://swd.weatherflow.com/swd/rest/observations/station/[your_station_id]?token=[your_access_token] to get your data? Seems like you’re using the wrong url to get it as it shows up for me.

I am using the Forecast and not the Station as described in the Documentation. My URL is $url = ‘https://swd.weatherflow.com/swd/rest/better_forecast?station_id=’.$Station_ID.’&units_temp=c&units_wind=kph&units_pressure=hpa&units_precip=mm&units_distance=km’;

Ooh, that looks like a glitch that was introduced with a recent API update. We’ll get that fixed soon. Thanks for reporting it!
