headers: {
'Authorization': 'YOUR API KEY' // Get your key by signing up
}
}).then(function(response) {
// Do something with response data.
var jsonData = response.json();
});
Python
import requests
response = requests.get(
'https://api.stormglass.io/point?lat=58.5&lng=17.8',
headers={
'Authorization': 'YOUR API KEY' # Get your key by signing up
