How to post the readings from the sensors to the API because it returns http code 400
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266HTTPClient.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
const char* ssid = "";
const char* password = "";
//Your Domain name with URL path or IP address with path

const int interval = 500;
volatile unsigned long tiptime = micros();
static float rainrate;
//float totalrainrate = 0.3;
void ICACHE_RAM_ATTR count();
// the following variables are unsigned longs because the time, measured in
// milliseconds, will quickly become a bigger number than can be stored in an int.
unsigned long lastTime = 0;
// Timer set to 10 minutes (600000)
//unsigned long timerDelay = 600000;
// Set timer to 5 seconds (5000)
unsigned long timerDelay = 15000;

}

// Set up our digital pin as an interrupt

}
void loop() {
wifi();
rain();
}
void rain() {
unsigned long curtime = micros();
// Make sure we don't record bounces
if ((curtime - tiptime) < interval) {

}
// How long since the last tip?

// Calculate mm/hr from period between cup tips

delay (1000);
}
void count() {
rainrate++;
}
void wifi() {
//Send an HTTP POST request every 10 minutes
if ((millis() - lastTime) > timerDelay) {
//Check WiFi connection status
if(WiFi.status()== WL_CONNECTED){

// Your Domain name with URL path or IP address with path

What do you think the error of this code ?
