Locations

GET /locations/countries

Lists all locations that are countries

Query parameters

  • topojson - if present, the location's topojson structure will be sent with the object.

GET /locations/regions

Lists all locations that are regions

Query parameters

  • topojson - if present, the location's topojson structure will be sent with the object.

World Bank Demographic data (WB Extra)

GET /wb_extra

Retrives World Bank demographic information (population and gdp) per country, per year.

Query parameters

  • startYear
  • endYear

Observations

Collection is serialized as an object with country codes as keys.

GET /wb_extra/:iso

Retrives World Bank demographic information (population and gdp) per country, per year.

Query parameters

  • startYear - show results from this year onwards
  • endYear - show results up to this year

Historical Emissions

GET /emissions/meta

Retrieves metadata of the historical emissions dataset. This metadata is the list of data_sources, sectors, gases, locations and gwps. All these parameters are filters in the /emissions endpoint

Observations

Collection is serialized as an object with the metadata entity as key.

GET /emissions

Retrieves time series data for historical emissions.

Query parameters

  • source - emission data source id (cait, pik, wb)
  • gas - emission gas id
  • sector - emission sector id
  • gwp - emission gwp id
  • location - location iso3 code
  • date_after - show results from this year onwards
  • date_before - show results up to this year

Note: all these parameters accept multiple values, separated by commas.

Observations

source query parameter is mandatory, together with at least one of location, sector or gas.

NDCs (texts)

GET /ndcs/text

Lists all known NDC texts

Query parameters

  • query - Free text search (lists snippets)

The following parameters can be used to search sdg linkages' snippets of text (lists snippets in the original text).

  • target - NdcSdg target number
  • goal - NdcSdg goal number
  • sector - NdcSdg sector number

GET /ndcs/:iso/text

Shows NDC texts for the country given by the :iso parameter

Query parameters

  • query - Free text search (highlights snippets in the original text)

The following parameters can be used to search and highlight sdg linkages' snippets of text

  • target - NdcSdg target number
  • goal - NdcSdg goal number
  • sector - NdcSdg sector number

NDCs (SDG linkages)

GET /ndcs/sdgs

Shows the relations between all SDG metadata (targets, goals and sectors)

Observations

Collection is serialized as an object with the metadata entity as key

NDCs (indicators)

GET /ndcs

Lists NDC indicator information

Query parameters

  • filter - Filter by category type (global, overview, map)

  • category - Filter by global category name

  • location - Filter by location iso code3. Accepts multiple values separated by commas.

Observations

Collection is serialized as an object with embedded metadata (categories and sectors keys). NDC data is inside the indicators key, where the collection is again an object with country iso codes as keys.

GET /ndcs/:iso/content_overview

Shows an overview of the given country's indicators, tailored to meet specific frontend needs.

Adaptations

GET /adaptations

Lists adaptation indicator data

Query parameters

  • location - Filter by location iso code3. Accepts multiple values separated by commas.
