This section is devoted to explain how GFM's dissemination API can be used to access and download flood products. The chapter is organized as follows:

  1. how to get a list of all available product output layers together with their description
  2. how to get a full list of the available product output layers for a specific AOI (e.g., Myanmar)
  3. how to get all the product output layers for a specific AOI
  4. how to retrieve a specific [[[PRODUCTS | product output layer]] (e.g., water_extent)

GFM's API can be accessed at the following URL:

https://api.gfm.geoville.com/v1/

For the authentication the following token can be used:

Bearer Q8ajYGdedXVwtbqbkoHD4G1tTTja6PrXVxNgXnZTfL 

In the following use cases this manual will make of use the terms products and output layers:


Use Case 1 – Get all available output layer types for flood products

The first use case shows how to get a list of all the available output layer types together with their description. Expand the

'Therefore, please visit the /products/output_layer_types endpoint in the API documentation.' To do that, users have to follow a four-step procedure:

  • Step 1: Select the endpoint Ep product1.jpg
  • Step 2: Press the Try it out button Ep product2.jpg
  • Step 3: Enter the access token
  • Step 4: Click the “Execute” Button Ep product3.jpg

As a result, the API endpoint provides a list of all available output layers, the type of the layer and description:

Ep product4.jpg

Use Case 2 – Get an Area of Interest (AOI)

The second use case is devoted to give users the details through which they can address all AOIs'. After providing the access token, the endpoint provides a list of all stored AOIs.
To do that, users have to follow a four-step procedure:

  • Step 1: Select the endpoint Ep product0.jpg
  • Step 2: Press the Try it out button Ep product2.jpg
  • Step 3: Enter the access token
  • Step 4: Click the “Execute” Button Ep product3.jpg

In this tutorial the Myanmar AOI is used:

"aoi_id": "e289b746fa66c0bea2049a020aa38b0c9aacb8783c112117a9002ae035511bcb" 
"aoi_name": "Myanmar" 

After finding out the aoi_id for Myanmar, another endpoint is used to get a list of all available products for this AOI.


Use Case 3 - Get all products for a specific AOI

This use case shows how to get a list of all the products available for a specific AOI. This endpoint requires the additional path parameter aoi_id (see the previous Use Case) to address a specific AOI (Myanmar, in the example).

To do that, users have to follow a four-step procedure:

  • Step 1: Select the endpoint Ep product-1.jpg
  • Step 2: Press the Try it out button Ep product2.jpg
  • Step 3: Enter the access token
  • Step 4: Enter the extra parameters to define the query in a specific time range. In order to filter the response, this API endpoint provides the additional query parameter time. This parameter can assume three values:
  1. latest: returns the latest product for the AOI
  2. all: returns all products for the AOI
  3. range': returns all products within a specified date range. If applied, two additional query parameters (to, from) are required. Please use the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS to enter a valid date.
  • Step 5: Click the “Execute” Button Ep product3.jpg

The service returns a list of all products that match the filter criteria. In particular, the endpoint provides a product_id and a timestamp (product_time) for each product.
In the example:

"product_id": 5 
"product_time": "2019-08-16T11:40:09" 
 

8 Use Case 4 - Retrieve a flood product The last use case in this tutorial describes how to access an actual flood layer. In the example we are interested in the water_extent layer. For this purpose, please visit the following endpoint: /products/{product_id}/output_layers/{layer_name} endpoint of the API. This service accepts two additional path parameters: • product_id: Unique product identifier (e.g.: product_id: 5) • layer_name: The actual output layer we are interested in (e.g.: observed_flood_extent) As a result, the user gets a more detailed product description. This description consists of the following information: • product_id: Unique product identifier • layer_name: Names of the product output layers. o Note, an overview of the product output layers can we found below. • layer_type: Layer type (raster or vector) • timestamp: Product date information • url_data: URL to download the product • url_tiles: URL to access the tile information

For the example above (Myanmar / water_extent), the response looks like this: 

• product_id: 5 • layer_name: water_extent • layer_type: raster • Timestamp: 2019-08-16T11:40:09", • url_data https://demo.geoville.com/jrc_gfm_demo/data/OL2_Observed_Water_Extent_Myanmar.tif • url_tiles https://tileserver.geoville.com/jrc-gfms/OL2_S1_OWE_Myanmar/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
