Documentation GitHub OpenAPI

Operations 9

GET /meteostations Return a list of all meteostations for which data is available. #

GET /meteostations/{meteostation} Return the data for the given meteostation. #

GET /regions/municipalities Return all municipalities (gemeentes), based on the boundaries for 2015. #

GET /regions/postalcodes Return the dutch 6-positions postalcode areas. #

GET /regions/provences Return the provinces. These are the boundaries from 2015. #

GET /soilparams/{soilparamid} Return all the information for the given soilparamid. #

GET /soiltypes Return the intersections of the supplied geometry and soilmap. If no epsg is provided epsg = 28992 (RD) is assumed. Curr #

GET /soiltypes/{entityid} Return all the information for the given soilmap entityid. #

GET /sources Documentation pointer for the available data sources #

    agrodatacube.wur.nl is a host under Wageningen University & Research's own registrable domain

    institution's own, not a vendor's running under its name.
  repair: >-
    Re-based on 2026-08-30. refine-openapis welded this per-tag split onto the wrong parent: it wore
    "AgroDataCube API v1 (legacy) Altitude Return API" and base https://agrodatacube.wur.nl/api/v1/rest while the
    operations come from AgroDataCube API v2. The v1 base is retired — GET /api/v1/rest/fields and
    /api/v1/rest/sources both answered HTTP 404 (Tomcat "HTTP Status 404 - Not Found") on 2026-08-30 —
    so every operation here was documented against a dead server. Title, version and servers[] are now
    taken from the true parent. This is our defect, not the provider's.
    Dropped /sources/{resource_name}: GET /api/v2/rest/sources/fields answered HTTP 404 on 2026-08-30,
    so the route does not exist on the v2 base. It survives in openapi/_original/...-agrodatacube-v1.yaml.
    Rewrote GET /sources to the response v2 actually returns (probed HTTP 200, a documentation pointer).
