GET /climate/aggregate

Returns period aggregates for one GPS point over a date range: mean temperature with its daily extremes, total precipitation and mean wind, computed from ERA5 reanalysis daily values decoded from GRIB into a local grid store. Ask for a month or a season and get the summary in a single call, instead of assembling 30 to 90 individual point lookups yourself. The lookup is local, so a covered window resolves in milliseconds without an account or API key.

This is the period-summary signal: the climate balance of a month or a season at a point, for analytics and energy operations. See the live /catalog for the authoritative endpoint listing and price.

x402 golden rule: the agent pays for the answer to its question. A well-formed request over a covered window is a successful answer -> 200, even when some days inside the window have a grid gap or a requested family has no data: those cases are reported through days_counted, a null family and coverage. Requests the service cannot answer - invalid coordinates, an invalid period, an unknown variable, or a window with no covered day at all - leave the 200 range.

Parameters

The window [from, to] is the unit of the product and is capped at 366 days per call. Use variables to reduce the payload when the agent only needs one family.

• provenance.source: stable identifier of the served store source, typically era5-copernicus.
• freshness.kind: snapshot for ERA5 reanalysis; as_of is the store production date that backed the answer.
• ERA5 values are derived from Copernicus Climate Change Service information.

Fields of data

A family that was not requested via variables is omitted. A family that was requested but has no value over the window is serialized as null - the same honesty convention as GET /climate/point.

temperature

precipitation

wind

coverage

Aggregation honesty

Each family is aggregated with the convention that fits it, and these conventions matter:

• Precipitation is a total (sum), not a mean: total_mm adds the daily totals over the covered days.
• Temperature and wind are means over the covered days.
• min_celsius / max_celsius are extremes of the daily-mean values, not hourly Tmin/Tmax. They tell you the coldest and warmest days in the window, not the lowest and highest instantaneous readings. For true daily Tmin/Tmax extremes, use GET /climate/indices.
• ERA5 is a gridded reanalysis with a typical global mesh of about 0.25 degrees, not a weather-station reading.

A window that is only partly covered is reported honestly: uncovered days are dropped, days_counted reflects the covered days and a sum like total_mm is the total over those days only, with coverage.complete: false. The historical window is finite and moves with the ingested store (provenance.freshness.as_of names the dump). A window with no covered day at all returns 400 OUT_OF_RANGE.

Example - partial window, one family with no data

A window covered only in part still returns 200: days_counted reflects the covered days, the precipitation sum is the total over those days, and a requested family with no value comes back null with coverage.complete: false.

{ "error": "requested window has no covered day within 2021-01-01..2026-06-20", "code": "OUT_OF_RANGE" }
