NOAA Weather API issues

mreinsch

Hi I am getting different outputs when I hit this API. Sometimes the JSON build works and sometimes it does not build anything. If anyone has any idea on why this happens I would appreciate greatly. I am attaching the workflow and the two outputs I am getting from the download tool.

Thanks

@mreinsch According to their API documentation, it looks like you can specify that you want the JSON back by adding an accept header. I've added the header in the attached. The default should be JSON anyway, so it's interesting that something funny must be going on at their end that it would ever give you non-JSON back. 

I also added a select tool after the JSON parse to deselect the download data since it was creating a massive temp file and slowing the process down.

Hope that helps!
