Maps

The Maps endpoints are used to generate maps (and map statistics) of the datasets available in Climate Engine.

There are three groups of Maps endpoints:

/raster/mapid - These are used to generate Earth Engine maps, and produce an Earth Engine map ID value.

/raster/export - These endpoints are used to generate a map and export it to a Google Cloud Storage bucket.

/raster/metadata - The metadata endpoints return percentiles and statistics of map values.

NOTES:

- The endpoints ending in “standard_index” are only valid for indices like SPI, SPEI and EDDI.

- Additionally, “forecasts” endpoints are only available for forecast datasets (i.e. CFS_GRIDMET and FRET).

- For the “anomalies” endpoints, the calculations “anompercentof” and “anompercentchange” are not valid for temperature variables.
