Custom Request Example

Here is a second example where we pass arguments in the query string in order to customize the forecast.

https://front-remora.greatcircle.be/forecast?token=YOUR_TOKEN_GOES_HERE&longitude=4.533706&latitude=50.711665&variables=wind,temperature&horizon=3.14,d&exclude=minute&extend=hour

The cusomizations are the following :

1. we specify variables=wind,temperature to indicate that we only care about measures of these 2 categories and we want to ignore the rest
2. we specify horizon=3.14,d to indicate that we want to limit our forecast to the next 3.14 days
3. we specify exclude=minute to indicate that we don't need a minute by minute prediction during the first 3 hours and that an hour by hour prediction is good enough
4. we specify extend=hour to indicate that we want hour spaced predictions and not 3 hours spaced for the last 1.14 days

Here is a simplified response containing only the first and last <ForecastPoint> objects :
