Basic Request

Let’s check for current environmental risks at Half Dome in Yosemite: 
curl "https://api.goes.health/v1/risks/environmental?location=37.7325,-119.5581" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
All responses include an array of risks: 
{
  "responseId": "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000",
  "risks": [
    {
      "id": "sunburn",
      "title": "Sunburn",
      "tips": [
        ...
      ]
    }, 
    {
      "id": "heat-illness",
      "title": "Heat Illness",
      "tips": [
        ...
      ]
    }
  ]
}
If a risk is not present, it will be omitted from the risks.
