Solcast API

[pioneersteffen]

Hi Admin,

many thanks for your help!

I want to include a repeat loop to write the next 12h into group addresses. Unfortunately my actual code doesn’t work. Can you please give me a hint for the loop?

Many thanks for your help!

Best Regards

Code:

require('json')

https = require 'ssl.https'

​
appid = 'XXX'
lat = '52.436225'
lon ='10.42526'
azi = '170'
hours = '24'
format = 'json'
tilt = '33'
capa = '8'

url = 'https://api.solcast.com.au/world_pv_power/forecasts?latitude=%s&longitude=%s&hours=%s&format=%s&tilt=%s&capacity=%s&azimuth=%s&api_key=%s'

url = string.format(url, lat, lon, hours, format, tilt, capa, azi, appid)
​
res, code, headers, status = ssl.https.request(url)
log (code, status, headers, res)

data = json.pdecode(res)

--Fault messages:

if not data then
  alert('Error converting data')
  return
end
​
if not res then
  alert('Error collecting data')
  return
end
​
data = data.forecasts

i=1
repeat

grp.write('45/1/'..i, data[i].pv_estimate)
    i = i + 1
​
until i>24
