Introduction
The Global Atlas Services is available from the EMD-API: It is a service created in order to provide an interface (REST/OpenAPI standard) to atlas-data on wind-resources, siting-data (such as site flow characteristics), geospatial-predictors and elevations. The service delviers a unitified interface to a wide range of atlas data, and has the following key features:
- Instant data delivery: All datasets within the EMDAPI are ready processed and requests are served within seconds or minutes
- Hundreds of atlas parameters for renewable energy: EMDAPI provides access to hundreds of parameters on winds, siting, elevations and other geospatial parameters used within renewable energy
- Unified interface: The unified interface which allows for integration to internal processes and tools
- Trusted datasets: EMDAPI builds upon the trusted data-bases and data-sources is also used through the online-data services in windPRO, some for more than a decade.
- Built on open standards: EMDAPI is a REST based service that implements the OpenAPI standard].
- Available from any development tool: Access to the climate databases is available from your preferred development platform - C#, R, python, html, java, php, scala and swift. Just use the OpenAPI tools to generate the client software for your preferred platform.
Access
The API is currently (February 2020) in alpha-release. To see more documentation and to access the data-services, please visit the API through the following URL's:
- EMD-API Overview (Wiki) - here.
- EMD-API Main Page (API) - here.
- EMD-API Global Atlas Service UI (API) - here.
Any technical questions on our global atlas service can be addressed to our Senior Technical Specialist - Morten Lybech Thøgersen: mlt@emd.dk.
Data Model - Global Atlas Service
The EMD global-atlas-services is documented in a REST based API using the OpenAPI Specification. You can view the interfaces and download the interfaces as json or yaml, here. The service provides the following functionality:
- List Datasets: Full list of available datasets with their ID’s, descriptions and documentation liks (URL's).
- Locate Data-Nodes: Request locations of several nearby data nodes from a specific dataset given a latitude-longitude location.
- Place Order: Time-series data for any location whith any dataset (from latitude-longitude location). You can decide which period to download.
- Order Status: Request progress for an order - and recieve the download URL for the order.
