Climate Engine

Climate Engine is a geospatial climate and remote-sensing data platform that runs on Google Earth Engine. Its commercial REST API (api.climateengine.org) provides on-demand processing of satellite and gridded climate datasets - Landsat, Sentinel, MODIS, GRIDMET, ERA5, CHIRPS and more - returning timeseries, map tiles, zonal statistics, and pre-built reports over points, polygons, and feature collections.

Climate Engine publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Home API, Metadata API, Raster API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Climate, Geospatial, Remote Sensing, Satellite, and Earth Observation.

Climate Engine’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 7 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/climate-engine: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
