Types

Tip

If you prefer to use Swagger to understand the API capabilities, see OpenAPI docs.

Generally there are two types of data: geospatial raster and station data.

grid

Raster data requested by supplying a bounding box.

timeseries

A special type of raster data. Instead of a supplying a bounding box an EPSG:4326 coordinate pair is supplied. The nearest neighboring grid point from raster data is returned.

station

This type provides measurements from weather stations.

type specific parameters

bbox 

if type is grid

The bounding box needs to be within the limits of bbox_outer. Coordinates are EPSG:4326 encoded. The bounding box is supplied in the format south,west,north,east, compare the bbox parameter in the OpenAPI documentation

lat_lon 

if type is timeseries

Latitude and longitude coordinate pair to be queried. Coordinates are EPSG:4326 encoded. More than coordinate pair can be provided.

Example: lat_lon=48,12&lat_lon=48.5,11.3

station_ids 

if type is station

One or more weather station ids. There are two supported formats:

passing as comma-separated string: ?station_ids=1,2,3
passing as multiple query parameters: ?station_ids=1&station_ids=2&station_ids=3
