JSONSerialisation API different url not working

Question

I am trying to create a basic weather app, but now I face problems with initialising my personal api in my app. The problem likely lies in the URL as it works if I change it. However, the current api I have is the sole on that works for my country's weather.

P.S. the other url that works is from an online course I'm following

This is the one that doesn't work

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
    <dict>
        <key>**nea.gov.sg**</key>
        <dict>
            <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
            <true/>
            <key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
            <true/>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</dict>

Meanwhile, this works

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
    <dict>
        <key>**openweathermap.org**</key>
        <dict>
            <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
            <true/>
            <key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
            <true/>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</dict>

So then is it due to the additional domain of nea.gov.sg as compared to openweathermap.org? So to answer some questions, both are http:// and I tried to print out both api but only the url for openweathermap.org works with both the same code.

Here's the API call code I used

let url = URL(string: "http://api.nea.gov.sg/api/WebAPI/?dataset=2hr_nowcast&keyref=*[keyCode]*")!

    let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in
        if error != nil {
            print(error!)
        } else {

            if let urlContent = data {

                do {

                    let jsonResult = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: urlContent, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.mutableContainers) as AnyObject

                    print(jsonResult)

                } catch {
                    print("JSON Processing Failed")
                }
            }
        }
    }
    task.resume()

Have you tried replacing this instead to your plist?

<key>**api.nea.gov.sg**</key>
