Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
sourcestringRequired-ID of a source or group from /v1/observations/sources that supports point queries.
latnumberRequired-Latitude of the point in decimal degrees (WGS84).
lngnumberRequired-Longitude of the point in decimal degrees (WGS84).
max_distancenumberOptional100Maximum distance in km between the point and the station (max 100). If no station with data is found within this distance, station is null.
modestringOptionallatestlatest returns the station's most recent observation within the period. series returns all its observations within the period.
