Part of SmartMet Server. See the SmartMet Server documentation for a full overview of the ecosystem.
Overview
The EDR plugin implements the OGC API — Environmental Data Retrieval standard for SmartMet Server. It provides a standardized REST interface for querying meteorological and environmental data at points, areas, and along trajectories.
In addition to the EDR API the plugin can optionally serve the TimeSeries API of
the SmartMet Server. The timeseries interface is enabled by defining the
timeseries_url attribute in the plugin configuration file; without it only the
EDR API is served.
Features
- OGC API-EDR compliant interface
- Point, area, corridor, and trajectory queries
- JSON and CoverageJSON output formats
- Optional timeseries interface with the query syntax of the TimeSeries plugin
