Hi Justin,
Okay, what I think maybe you should do first, is not specify a time range at
all.
Just submit a request (that you've already specified parameters on), like this:
response = DataAccessLayer.getGeometryData(request)
obs = DataAccessLayer.getMetarObs(response)
And then print out the records you've received and see if you have any
temperature
records:
print("Found " + str(len(response)) + " records")
print("Using " + str(len(obs['temperature'])) + " temperature records")
Does that print out a number greater than 0? If so, then you might want to try
limiting
the time range, and/or limit the location. You can see "location" values by
running:
locations = DataAccessLayer.getAvailableLocationNames(request)
print (locations)
Does that help at all?
