|---|---|---|---|---|
| source | string | Required | - | ID of a source or group from /v1/observations/sources that supports area queries. |
| bounds | string | Required | - | Area as west,south,east,north in decimal degrees (WGS84), for example 3.3,50.7,7.2,53.6 for the Netherlands. |
| mode | string | Optional | latest | latest returns the most recent observation per station within the period. series returns all observations within the period. |
| datetime_start | string | Optional | - | Start of the period (inclusive), ISO 8601. Times without a time zone are read as UTC. Defaults to a source-specific window before datetime_end. |
