Does this skill require a Nixtla API key?

Yes, you must have a valid NIXTLA_TIMEGPT_API_KEY set in your environment variables to use this skill for generating forecasts.

What are exogenous variables in the context of this skill?

Exogenous variables are external factors—such as weather, holidays, or promotional events—that influence your primary data but are not part of the core time series itself.

Can I integrate multiple external data sources at once?

Yes, the integrator can handle multiple feature columns within your exogenous CSV file, provided they are correctly aligned with the date ('ds') column.

What happens if my exogenous data doesn't cover the future forecast period?

The skill includes error handling that checks for this; TimeGPT requires exogenous values for the entire forecast horizon to generate an accurate augmented prediction.
