Weather Information

The Weather Info service provides daily, current, and forecast weather information. For a single polygon, you can query daily weather almost two years historically and up to 10 days into the future.

Usage

The retrieveCurrentWeather() query is used to retrieve current weather information for a single polygon. The service takes a single argument:

• polygonId

The output is returned in a GraphQL structure and is fully queryable. This means that you can ask for just the data you need and nothing more. The full output can now be found in the schema and documentation in the playground. See below for an example query that can be used to explore the data.

query {
  retrieveCurrentWeather(
    polygonId: "[YOUR POLYGON_ID GOES HERE]"
  ) 
  {
    Status
    Message
    Result {
      data {

    }
  }
}

The retrieveDailyWeather() query is used to retrieve daily weather information for a single polygon. The service takes three arguments:

• polygonId
• startDate
• endDate

Historical weather information is returned for dates prior to,and including, the current date. Forecast weather information is provided for dates beyond the current date, up to 10 days in the future.

query {
  retrieveDailyWeather(
    polygonId: "[YOUR POLYGON_ID GOES HERE]",
    startDate: "2023-10-20",
    endDate: "2023-10-31"
