Get nil when requesting data from forecast.io api

Whenever I do this is returns nil no matter what I do.

here's my code:

override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    let baseURL = NSURL(string: "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/\(apiKey)/")

    let forecastURL = NSURL(string: "51.620345,0.045681", relativeToURL: baseURL)

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

    println(weatherData)
}

and I also have apiKey set to the apiKey I was assigned.

Hm, I'm not sure. Have you tried using coordinates with only four decimal places? Maybe the API has trouble with coordinates that are too precise.
