You are using the MeteoAlarm OGC-API EDR TEST SYSTEM
Please note that this is a testing environment where endpoints, response formats, and other specifications might slightly differ from the production environment
The retrievable real-time data is test data from the test.meteoalarm.org environment. Archive data is also test data and is only available for a limited timeframe.

FAQ
- Who is this API for?
- This API can be used directly by MeteoAlarm Members and Re-distributors. Please contact us if you fall into one of these categories and want to use the API directly. For the general public, the API will be available through the MeteoGate project. Learn more about this initiative here.
- What is EDR?
- The goal of an EDR API is to query environmental data in a spatio-temporal manner. The EDR API metadata describes the API and the data that can be queried using different query patterns and has a machine readable format (JSON).
- What kind of data is available?
- Realtime and archived weather warnings issued by the MeteoAlarm Member countries. The EDR API contains only one EDR Collection: warnings. It supports a REST 'locations' query endpoint where locations are defined by a country code and the returning data is a list of warnings for the given location in GeoJSON format. The data is updated with a delay of 10 minutes and historical data can be queried. For realtime warnings an MQTT endpoint is available as described in the EDR collection. Both the REST and MQTT APIs are EDR compliant and share the same response format.
- What kind of data is available via the MQTT API?
- The MQTT API contains realtime warnings issued by MeteoAlarm Member countries. Each MQTT topic represents a MeteoAlarm Member country. (eg. warnings-AT - Austria, warnings-DE - Germany, ...) and the topic contains the warnings for the country in the same GeoJSON format as the REST API. The data is updated in near realtime and is available via the MQTTS protocol in GeoJSON format.
- What's the response format?
- The response format is GeoJSON. Geometries are bounding boxes of the warning areas. The warning data is structured in the original CAP Oassis 1.2 format, available in both XML and JSON format and linked as files in the Feature's links section.
- I don't want to use the EDR API, can I use only the REST/MQTT API only?
- Sure, no problem. We use standard REST/MQTT APIs under the hood, you don't have to have an EDR compatible client or any EDR specific knowledge. Jump to the Swagger UI to see the available endpoints.
- How can I test my integration?
-
You can use the MeteoAlarm test system which is completely decoupled from the production system.
The test system is available at https://api-test.meteoalarm.org.
