API Documentation

Overview

This API is intended to make climate data more available for free. The goal is to identify useful climate datasets from credible sources and provide an interface to access them from. This would not be possible without the efforts of those credible sources. All data is provided unmodified with rare exception to field names. An additional field named timestamp has been included in all datasets that is an estimation of when the record starts.

To quickly get started querying the API download the Postman Collection and Environment files. If you do not already have Postman installed you can get it from the Postman Downloads page.
