About the RISE API

What is an API?

An Application Programming Interface (API) allows applications to talk to one another. This API allows users to query RISE data programmatically and return a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object.

What kinds of data can be obtained from the API?

For Geospatial and File Upload datasets, only the metadata (the descriptive information about each dataset) can be queried from the API. For time series datasets, both the metadata and data can be queried.

What format will the data be returned in?

API queries will return data in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format, using the JSON:API specification. Documentation of the JSON:API specification is available at https://jsonapi.org/.
