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:4325 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:4325 encoded.

lat_lon

if type is timeseries

Latitude and longitude coordinate pair to be queried. Coordinates are EPSG:4325 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

The weather station id.
