JavaScript Object Notation returning nil in Playground

When running this code in Playground weatherData returns nil instead of data. What is wrong? Note: apiKey is replaced with x's intentionally.

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

let forecastURL = NSURL(string: "37.8267,-122.423", relativeToURL: baseURL)

//fetch data from our URL store it in our data object

let weatherData = NSData.dataWithContentsOfURL(forecastURL, options: nil, error: nil)

The error shows up in the console: 2014-11-04 12:02:13.106 WeatherPlayground[1357:181520] NSURLConnection/CFURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9807)

Underneath this error, some of the data shows, some does not.

Hello Chris I am also doing working on this project. If you look at the bottom of the page from the video "Making a Network Call" you will see the notes and updates that he changed. Hope this helps.
