SkyWise Insight API Offers Precision Weather Data for Any Application
by Daphne Thompson, on May 16, 2017 2:29:16 PM
What makes the SkyWise® Insight API unique? After all, most weather APIs allow you to fetch data from the nearest weather station, which may be miles away. While this may be useful in a number of cases, the approach is lacking for users that need to know field level analytics. The Insight API relies on a proprietary modeling process to generate gridded output data at up to a 1km resolution.
Global Relative Humidity
This week we released several new features, including endpoints for climatology and global coverage of all weather variables.
Climatology:
- Insight Climatology endpoints provide daily climatological data derived from both 10 and 30 year archives for a variety of content types.
Supported Content Types
- Daily High Temperature
- Daily Low Temperature
- Daily Precipitation
Daily High / Low Temperature
- By Location:
- Provides a daily climatological high/low temperature time series within a user-defined timespan at a specific location. A latitude/longitude pair represents the location.
- By Asset:
- Provides a daily climatological time series for high or low temperature within a user-defined timespan at the centroid of an asset, along with the area-weighted arithmetic mean and range of temperature over that asset. Time series values are for the centroid of the asset.
- Contours by Asset:
- Provides a contoured representation (GeoJSON) of climatological high or low temperatures over a date range, clipped to an asset boundary.
Precipitation
- By Location:
- Provides a daily climatological precipitation time series within a user-defined timespan at a specific location. A latitude/longitude pair represents the location.
