Supporting APIs

These endpoints are currently on the physical weather server’s Postgres database. They are subject to change, based on the effectiveness (or cost) of implementing them in Directus:

• https://weather.covercrop-data.org/mlra?lat=39.032056&lon=-76.873972
  Outputs the Major Land Resource Area (MLRA) information at the given lat/lon coordinates:
  name, mlrarsym, lrrsym, lrrname

• https://weather.covercrop-data.org/mlra?lat=39.032056&lon=-76.873972&polygon=true
  Outputs MLRA information, along with its (multi)polygon:
  name, mlrarsym, lrrsym, lrrname, polygon, polygonarray

• https://weather.covercrop-data.org/mlra?mlra=136
  Outputs MLRA information for the given mlra code, including a list of all counties and states within the MLRA:
  name, mlrarsym, lrrsym, lrrname, counties, states, state_codes, county_fips, state_fips
  (This endpoint also accepts the &polygon=true parameter.)

• https://weather.covercrop-data.org/county?lat=39.032056&lon=-76.873972
  Outputs county information at the given lat/lon coordinates:
  county, state, state_code, countyfips, statefips
  (This endpoint also accepts the &polygon=true parameter.)

• https://weather.covercrop-data.org/watershed?lat=39.032056&lon=-76.873972
  Outputs watershed information at the given lat/lon coordinates:
  huc12, name, huc10, huc10name, huc8, huc8name, huc6, huc6name, huc4, huc4name, huc2, huc2name, areaacres, areasqkm
  There are additional columns, but I’m unsure of their purpose.
  (This endpoint also accepts the &polygon=true parameter.)

• https://weather.covercrop-data.org/watershed?huc=020700100804
  Outputs watershed information for the given HUC.
  Given a HUC12, it outputs a single record. For HUC2, HUC4, etc., it outputs all HUC12 records within their watersheds.
  (This endpoint also accepts the &polygon=true parameter.)

• https://weather.covercrop-data.org/countyspecies?county=clarke&state=georgia
  Outputs species symbols for the given county and state.
  If county is omitted, this effectively becomes a “statespecies” endpoint.

• https://weather.covercrop-data.org/plants?symbol=ABAB,ABAC,ABAM5
  Outputs PLANTS information for the given symbol(s):
  symbol, full_scientific_name, is_synonym, rank, primary_vernacular, other_common_names, category, plant_group, family, family_symbol, kingdom, division, plant_order, genus, species, subspecies, variety, subvariety, forma, bauthor, tauthor, qauthor, duration1, duration2, duration3, growth1, growth2, growth3, growth4, ak_nativity, can_nativity, gl_nativity, hi_nativity, l48_nativity, na_nativity, navassa_island, pb_nativity, pr_nativity, spm_nativity, vi_nativity, pfa

Directus endpoints

Trevor Puckett imported the original Access database into Directus, and these endpoints have public read-only access.

Note that these endpoints are case-sensitive, and these were based on the MLRAs active at the time, some of which may have changed:

• https://data.vegspec.org/items/Conservation_Species

• https://data.vegspec.org/items/Conservation_Species_MLRA

• https://data.vegspec.org/items/Conservation_Species_Practices

• https://data.vegspec.org/items/Conservation_Species_StateCommonName

• https://data.vegspec.org/items/Conservation_Species_States (currently empty)

By default, Directus outputs 100 records, but you can output the entire dataset by appending ?limit=-1
