Access to API returning NIL

I'm having problems accessing the API. In this xcode returning NIL, but if I use the URL in the browser works normally. Can be setup?

Note: The counter in the forecast site computing access.

My code in playground:

let baseURL = NSURL(string: "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/\(apiKey)/")
let forecastURL = NSURL(string: "37.8267,-122.423?units=si&lang=pt", relativeToURL: baseURL)

let weatherData = NSData(contentsOfURL: forecastURL!, options: nil, error: nil)

Are you sure your API key is correct?

I copied your code exactly as you had it with an API key I created and it worked just fine. That's the only difference I saw.

Using NSURLSessionDownloadTask work in implementing the app, but still does not work on the playground.

Can be setup? And the playground is no access?
