A colleague sent me an example flow to obtain data from the Met Office Datahub, which worked fine.  
However, using that flow as a template, my version failed, and produced errors that say that the api structure is incorrect, despite the nodes being configure the same. After a lot of testing, I've isolated the problem down to the http request nodes (which again are configured identically).  
The request node imported from my colleague works, whilst mine from my palette does not 🤔

Obviously, I'm moving the link between the 2 http request nodes and deploying (to ensure that they are both getting exactly the same input)

The http request nodes are configured the same;

The first node produces a valid response, whilst the second has errors;

I can't forum share the flow as it contains my personal api key/secret, but could share to a team member via DM.
