Filters

Many of the requested resources can be filtered using the following options. This filters are added to the query string portion of the URL.

Start Date

Limit data to those on or after the specified date.

Start Date Filter Syntax

start=yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ

End Date

Limit data to those on or before the specified date.

End Date Filter Syntax

end=yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ

Bounding Box

Limit data to those falling within the coordinates of a bounding box. Coordinates are assumed to be in decimal degrees (WGS84).

Bounding Box Filter Syntax

BBOX=[bboxWest],[bboxSouth],[bboxEast],[bboxNorth]

Bounding Box Filter Example

BBOX=-121.6,48.8,-121.5,48.9

Bounding Polygon

Limit data to those falling within the coordinates of a bounding polygon. Coordinates are assumed to be in decimal degrees (WGS84).

Bounding Polygon Filter Syntax

POLYGON(([x1] [y1],[x2] [y2],[x3] [y3],[x1] [y1]))

Bounding Polygon Filter Example

POLYGON((-121.6 48.9, -121.6 48.8, -121.5 48.85, -121.6 48.9))
