| {{format}} | The desired response format. Allowed formats are:
|
Parameters
| latitude_eq required |
A response condition that identifies the latitude portion of the latitude longitude location for the observation. Allowed Values: decimal latitude value between 0 and 90 Example Value: 32.7153 |
|---|---|
| longitude_eq required |
A response condition that identifies the latitude portion of the latitude longitude location for the observation. Allowed Values: decimal longitude value between -180 (West) and 180 (East) Example Value: 117.1564 |
| timestamp_eq optional |
A response condition that returns a single element matching a timestamp. The returned timestamp may not equal the provided value, but will be representative of the value. For example, if the period parameter is set to hourly and the provided timestamp is for 8:15 a.m., the returned element will be for the 8 a.m. hour. Either timestamp_eq or timestamp_between must be provided in ISO 8601 format. TIP: Include the timezone offset portion of the timestamp for faster responses. (i.e. 2004-02-12T08:00+00:00 not 2004-02-12T08:00) Allowed Values: ISO 8601 timestamp Example Value: 2004-02-12T08:00+00:00 or 2004-02-12 |
| timestamp_between optional |
A response condition that returns the subset of elements with timestamps equal to or between those provided. Either timestamp_eq or timestamp_between must be provided in ISO 8601 format. TIP: Include the timezone offset portion of the timestamp for faster responses. (i.e. 2004-02-12T08:00+00:00 not 2004-02-12T08:00) Allowed Values: Two comma separated ISO 8601 timestamps Example Value: 2004-02-12T08:00,2004-02-12T23:00 |
| period optional |
Identifies astronomical data class. Allowed Values: hour, day Default Value: day |
| limit optional |
DEPRECIATED. Specifies the quantity of elements to retrieve. Allowed Values: Integers between 1 and 25 Default Value: 5 |
| offset optional |
DEPRECIATED. Specifies the first element to retrieve (index starts at 0). Allowed Values: Integers greater than or equal to 0 Default Value: 0 |
| fields optional |
Set response to a subset of fields within each element. If the element contains a null value for a field, both the field name and the null value will be omitted from the response. Available field names: The Hour class of astronomical data fields (period parameter is set to hour):
The Day class of astronomical data fields (period parameter is set to day):
Allowed Values: Comma separated list of field names Default Value: latitude_and_longitude,timestamp |
