The API serves two types of data:
- raster data in Cloud Optimized GeotTIFF (COG) format. This is primarily used to show layers on a map.
- time-series indicator data by geographic area. This is mostly used to show evolution over time in graphs.
See the api usage docyment for an overview on how to explore datasets and directly access source data through the API.
See the data usage document for an overview of how the data may be displayed.
