Pipeline connection to Open Meteo

Hello,

 

I've been trying to connect to Open Meteo's weather data via REST but every time I tested a connection to it, the test would fail.
This is a sample url which doesnt require an API key - https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=52.52&longitude=13.41&current=temperature_2m,wind_sp...
I use https://api.open-meteo.com as the base URL and anonymous as authentication kind. The error says found invalid data while decoding. Compression would be gzip if I were to do it in Power Query,

Hi @danextian ,

Thanks for using Fabric Community.

As I understand you were tring to fetch data from Open API and facing an issue while connection.

Could you please check the source configurtion of Copy Activity as I am able to connect to the API and able to preview the data.

Thanks. I've realized I was using the wrong connection type. Should have been HTTP and not REST.
