Why is my API not working with these ?

import UIKit import Foundation

let apiKey = "api key"
let locationPoints = "6.496944, 3.382426"

let baseURL = "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/\(apiKey)"
let encodedPoints =    locationPoints.stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding(N SUTF8StringEncoding)! 

let forecastURL = NSURL(string: "\(baseURL)/\(encodedPoints)")!
let weatherAPI = NSData(contentsOfURL: forecastURL, options: nil, error: nil)
println(weatherAPI)

Hi Ayoola, I just tested your code using playground and it works without problems. What is the detail error you found?

There appears to be a space in your NSUTF8StringEncoding

locationPoints.stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding(N SUTF8StringEncoding)
