Hi there!
Thanks for the great work! I am trying to download weather data for sites to accompany the raw resource profiles. Is it possible to get some information on the API arguments/url to which I can mae the request?
Many thanks,
Craig
You’re right, we need to add this to the documentation. You need to ask for each MERRA2 weather variable name you want with a separate request parameter. See this example that requests T2M and PRECTOTLAND:
https://www.renewables.ninja/api/data/weather?local_time=true&format=csv&header=true&lat=50&lon=11&date_from=2016-01-01&date_to=2016-12-31&dataset=merra2&var_t2m=true&var_prectotland=true
The rest of the parameters are as described in the documentation for the wind and PV API endpoints.
The complete list is of weather variable selection parameters is:
- var_t2m
- var_prectotland
- var_precsnoland
- var_snodp
- var_rhoa
- var_swgdn
- var_swtdn
- var_cldtot
Hope this helps!
Hi,
Is the parameter
- var_snodp
still valid? There is no snow depth any more in the weather parameter list, but there is snow mass available. Has the parameter changes?
