Why doesn't the Apiary Console give a correct response for this API Blueprint? - apiblueprint

Question

I'm trying to create a simple demo of how API Blueprint works with Apiary.io. For the demo, I wanted to put an endpoint from the Mashape Weather API into blueprint.
Here's the attempt:
http://docs.weatherapi3.apiary.io/#reference/weather/weather-data/get-the-weather-data?console=1
It seems to work (meaning, the Try it out button in the Console gives a response), but I get this result:
{
"query": {
"count": 0,
"created": "2015-06-21T11:12:06Z",
"lang": "en-US",
"results": null
}
}
The same result passed via cURL does give a correct response, which is an output of the weather.
Is there something I am misconfiguring in the blueprint?
Alternatively, does Mashape block calls from Apiary.io?
Here's the blueprint:

There is a tiny mistake in Blueprint in GET parameters. Parameters should be written like: {?param1,param2} (See: URI Templates)
So if you just change
## Weather data [/weatherdata{?lat}{?lng}] to ## Weather data [/weatherdata{?lat,lng}] it works.
