Publishing data to OGC API - Environmental Data Retrieval¶

The OGC Environmental Data Retrieval (EDR) (API) provides a family of lightweight query interfaces to access spatio-temporal data resources.

To add spatio-temporal data to pygeoapi for EDR query interfaces, you can use the dataset example in Configuration as a baseline and modify accordingly.

Providers¶

pygeoapi core EDR providers are listed below, along with a matrix of supported query parameters.

Provider	coords	parameter-name	datetime

Below are specific connection examples based on supported providers.

Connection examples¶

xarray-edr¶

The xarray-edr provider plugin reads and extracts NetCDF and Zarr data via xarray.

providers:
    - type: edr
      name: xarray-edr
      data: tests/data/coads_sst.nc
      # optionally specify x/y/time fields, else provider will attempt
      # to derive automagically
      x_field: lat
      x_field: lon
      time_field: time
      format:
         name: netcdf
         mimetype: application/x-netcdf

providers:
    - type: edr
      name: xarray-edr
      data: tests/data/analysed_sst.zarr
      format:
         name: zarr
         mimetype: application/zip

Note

Zarr files are directories with files and subdirectories. Therefore a zip file is returned upon request for said format.

Data access examples¶
