Hi Phil, Please run the following command (it is a single line), substituting your API key, and reply with the output you receive.
curl --user-agent 'foo' "http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxfcs/all/json/3772?res=3hourly&key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"; For me, with —user-agent not specified, with —user-agent ‘foo’ specified, or with any other user-agent specified, the command works. Web searches do show that, from time to time, UKMO has issues and there is anecdotal evidence that changing the user-agent sometimes helps. I wonder if your original problem, where you needed to change the user-agent, was one of those times. It will also be interested to see if you can resolve datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk. In addition to that above, please also include the output of: host datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk I will revert the change I made to specify a user-agent if it turns out it is not needed (which currently appears to be the case).
