Hi @cpryor,

This error is occurring because the “latitude” field only works with a 2-minute average. You will have to change to a 2-minute average or remove the “latitude” field to query the data.

We do not recommend querying the latitude value frequently as it should not change. More information is available here: [API Use Guidelines](https://community.purpleair.com/t/api-use-guidelines/1589#avoid-querying-metadata-frequently-6).
