All Precip endpoints offer three different user selectable data formats:
geojson
: As close to a standard geospatial format as it gets. Will work with many mapping tools.csv
: Open with the data tool of your choice - Excel, Sheets, Pandas, and more.json
: "Table style json" is our best effort to make a format easy to use in a table style interface.Understanding time intervals can sometimes be a challenge when dealing with weather data. Precip uses a consistant pattern in order to simplify working with data provided by our API.
Precip endpoints always return a startTime
label in ISO 8601 extended format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ
).
Hourly values are startTime
to startTime
+ 1 hour. Daily data will always have a startTime
aligned to 12:00:00Z with measurements aggregating data from startTime
to startTime
+ 24 hours.
