Hi, I'm trying to use the Solcast API Tool Kit from the Givenergy dashboard.
I have registered with Solcast and have entered the required credentials i.e. Solcast API Key and Resource ID via the Givenergy dashboard, however, all I get is the Solcast description page and nothing else.
Any ideas please?

Curious if you have dual aspect can you set both up in givenergy?

michaelmcgoldrick yes you can, you'll need to set up two sites on Solcast, then when inputting into GE portal you add both site ID's in

ah think i might have exceeded my daily limit of api calls
{"response_status":{"error_code":"TooManyRequests","message":"You have exceeded your free daily limit.","errors":[]}}

michaelmcgoldrick if you're a new account you get 10 API calls per day, so will go quickly
