Need help with API call

I am new and lost to how to resolve my problem. I am trying to fetch tidal information from Admiralty Tidal API. I am using an example code from ESP8266HTTPClient library. With the code below I just get a failed error. Any help would be appreciated.

void loop() {
// wait for WiFi connection
if ((WiFiMulti.run() == WL_CONNECTED)) {

WiFiClient client;

HTTPClient http;

Serial.print("[HTTP] begin...\n");

http.begin(client, "https://admiraltyapi.azure-api.net/uktidalapi/api/V1/Stations/0154/TidalEvents?duration=1");
http.setAuthorization("Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");

Serial.print("[HTTP] GET...\n");

int httpCode = http.GET();

if (httpCode > 0) {

Serial.printf("[HTTP] GET... code: %d\n", httpCode);

if (httpCode == HTTP_CODE_OK) {
String payload = http.getString();
Serial.println(payload);
}
} else {
Serial.printf("[HTTP] GET... failed, error: %s\n", http.errorToString(httpCode).c_str());
}

http.end();
}

delay(10000);

Hello dt0001,

Welcome to the Arduino forums.

The people who run the Arduino web site have been incredibly sneaky; to make it as difficult as possible for new people they have put some instructions at the top of this forum to help you get the most from the forum and get a helpful answer to your question. To make things even more difficult they gave the instructions an obscure title like ‘How to use this forum – please read’. Just to make the instructions as difficult to find as possible they put the title in bold, and if that were not enough, they didn’t just put the instructions at the top of this forum but also at the top of every forum.

When you do eventually find them please read them and follow the instructions. That way you stand a better chance of getting a helpful response to your problem.

No. You get more than that. When you learn to share, you'll get more help.
