Series Endpoints

The following improvements to simplify the ease of use characterise the endpoints of the /wthr/ series:

Many possible errors are intercepted and explained in the response.

All parameters except the apiKey are optional. Parameters that are not specified are replaced by default values.

As before, the apiKey can be passed in the header or optionally as a parameter. This enables testing in every browser address line, for example.

If desired, any alias names can be defined for each weather variable and each level.

Any ‘unique alias names’ can be defined for which a combination of ‘model’, “variable” and ‘level’ is stored in the system.

It is also sufficient to enter the name for the normal variables and the appropriate ‘model’ is selected and a default ‘level’ is automatically selected.

The above applies to the following endpoints:

/wthr/svar/NearestGridData

/wthr/svar/InterpolatedData

/wthr/svar/AreaForcast

/wthr/calc/AstroData

The endpoint /wthr/mvar/PointForcast still has the functionality known from /get_timeseries, here the brilliant idea of how the query should work as simply as possible is still missing.
