Evidence-backed facts
- NCEI documents an HTTPS GET API for subsetting supported environmental datasets by station, time, datatype, bounding box, units, and format. informative
- Not every NCEI dataset is exposed by the service, and dataset-specific parameters must be checked before constructing a request. informative
- Supported output formats can include CSV, SSV, JSON, PDF, and NetCDF, but availability varies by dataset and requested fields. informative
- A 200 response does not prove sensor accuracy, station continuity, complete coverage, or that cloud migration has no availability impact. informative
