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¤t=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,
Solved! Go to Solution.
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.
Hope this is helpful. Please let me know incase of further queries.

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